Dekalog, jeden
1988/Kieslowski

A good first chapter to the 10-part series. Very simple in style, setting, characters, and yet Kieslowski still succeeds in creating an interesting atmosphere and posing thought-provoking questions. I really enjoyed the dual main character aspect of this film, focusing equally on both the father and the son, and seem to remember reading that this is a running theme of the series. It really shows Kieslowski's talent that he's able to take all the themes of questioning the purpose of life, reliance in technology, father and son dynamic, and children's naivety, and pack them all into a well-made, hour long film. I look forward to continuing the series tomorrow hopefully.

3.5/5 Stars


I dream in widescreen.
