Dekalog 1 by Krzysztof Kieślowski

It is Kafkaesque at first glance.

Perhaps a 3 hour epic cannot achieve what Dekalog 1 does in 53 minutes. It has the propensity to revolutionize the way you look and live your life.

The main character portrayed as a rationalist father’s confidence in his calculations and technology might even leave you a little flustered. You might start a metaphysical and psychological exploration going ahead in your life.

The haunting images may stay with you long after you have seen it and may lift this work up high above other works.

Scenes which appears random at first have in fact, greater significance overall by the end of the episode.

Predetermined Fate (?), predictions (?) and accidents (!) conceivably cannot be explained by the cause and effect paradigm

Now, one has to make a decision whether one wants to spend some 9 hours of one’s life watching Kieslowski’s magnum opus or live life ignorantly and blissfully.

The Dekalog is a 1989 Polish television drama series consisting of 10 episodes, directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski
