Kieslowski on Kieslowski (Paperback, Main)

Krzystof Kieslowski's untimely death in 1996 robbed cinema of one of its great visionaries. Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique, and the Three Colours trilogy earned Kieslowski his reputation as a world-class filmmaker. He was notoriously reticent, and even dismissive of his work and talent, but the frank and detailed discussions collected herein show a passion for filmmaking that animated a life disrupted by Hilter, by Stalin, and by the legacy these figures left in Eastern Europe. Indeed, his struggle to work as a filmmaker mirrors the struggle of Poland to reassert its identity. In 1989, when the Berlin Wall collapsed and Eastern European states overthrew the oppressive Soviet burden, the director's orientation gravitated towards France. Moving between Poland and France, Kieslowski created some of the most important cinematic works of the 1990s.
