Krzysztof Kieślowski (1941-1996) is one of the great visionaries in cinema. The Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique and the "Three Colours trilogy" earned Kieślowski his reputation as a world-class filmmaker. In a life disrupted by Hitler and Stalin and the legacy they left in Eastern Europe, his struggle to work as a filmmaker mirrors the struggle of Poland to reassert its identity. In 1989, when the Berlin Wall collapsed, his orientationgravitated towards France. Moving between Poland and France, Kieslowski created some of the most important cinematic works of the 1990s. |
