Synopsis

Krzysztof Kieslowski took the fifth and sixth episodes from his epic Decalogue series and expounded upon the themes of "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not commit adultry" to create dark, haunting human dramas. In A Short Film About Killing, a young lawyer must grapple with the random murder committed by his client, as well as the looming death sentence imposed by the courts. Stars Miroslaw Baka and Krzysztof Globisz, with cinematography by Slawomir Idziak. "Grips like a vice from the opening frame and never lets go" (Time Out). In A Short Film About Love, a postal worker becomes obsessed with an older promiscuous neighbor and attempts suicide when she reveals her motive to be physical pleasure and not love. As he recovers, she begins to feel differently about him. Stars Olaf Lubaszenko and Grazyna Szapolowska, with cinematography by Witold Adamek. In Polish with English subtitles. Krzysztof Kieslowski---Poland---1988--171 mins.
