Just outside the top 1000
7. Short Film About Love, A (1988) #1396 I prefer this to the Killing one, but I could be wrong
Three Colours: Blue is a very interesting film about a woman continuing with her life after the death of her husband. This film has a strong music composition component that interested me.
I have a hard time picking a most distinguished film among these – they are all very good, none seem to be masterpieces. I suppose just because of the attempt, scope, and ingenuity that Dekalog may be the one deemed a classic in the future. It’s really ten short films put together in two feature length parts. I found it slow and uneven but riveting in parts.
Kieslowski is an artist, no one will deny that. Each film is at least interesting and worth seeing.
