Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKieslowski and co-screenwriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz expressed an affection for the character of the young singer who contemplates surgery, and they lamented the fact that there was little for her to do in this story. When they began writing "The Double Life of Veronique", they remembered the plight of the singer in Dekalog - how her passion was limited by her sickness - and transferred this storyline over to the characters of Veronique and Weronika.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Three Colors: Red (1994)
Featured review
The finest piece of cinema in the Decalogue
I notice that not too many people have commented on Decalogue Nine. I find this remarkable, but I think it might be because not too many people get this far in the series. From a writing standpoint, the best of the series are in the middle (I would say, maybe, 3, 5, and 6), but from a cinematic standpoint, Nine is the best. It predicts a lot of the trick film-making he would go on to do in Trois Couleurs: Bleu. Take note particularly of the shots through glass and the on the elevator in which the characters act in a scene somewhere between strobe light and slide show. All of this is not to say, however, that the writing or acting in this one are sub-par. In fact, the man who plays the doctor is remarkable and, like all of the films, there is a powerful ambiguity in which Kieslowski and Piesiewicz seem to, at once, take the commandments with a grain of salt and look upon them with the utmost seriousness.
