About this product

Product Information

Since his death in 1996, Krzysztof Kieslowski has remained the best-known contemporary Polish film-maker, and one of the most popular and respected European directors, internationally renowned for his ambitious Decalogue and Three Colors trilogy. In this new addition to the Directors' Cuts series, Marek Haltof provides a comprehensive study of Kieslowski's cinema, discussing industrial practices in Poland and stressing that the director did not fit the traditional image of a 'great' East-Central European auteur and that his films are also unique in the context of Polish cinema.

Powerful, poignant and illuminating.
This is one of the great auteurs in modern cinema history. If you want to climb into the brain of a master who never compromised his singular vision, definitely hunt this book down. It is worth every penny.
