Series: Dekalog by Krzysztof Kieslowski

This year I've been watching a polish drama series from the 1980s by the director of the three colours series of films.

Each film is very loosely about one of the ten commandments in an everyday context. I say loosely because the film does not overplay the religious background context.

As usual a bleak Polish setting that is bought to life by the characters and their lives, the films are very well directed and filmed.

Kieslowski himself died in the mid 1990s and probably his distinct directing style has died too - so it felt like a piece of TV history watching in 2009. Interesting series (he calls them a "cycle" in his interviews, as they each stand alone).
