A Short Film About Decalogue: An Interview with Krzysztof Kieslowski

00:00:01 Krzysztof Kieslowski, recently nominated for an Oscar for 'Red', the final part of his 'Three Colors' trilogy, was virtually unknown in western Europe and America only six years ago.

00:04:32 The basic things of life become problems.

00:06:11 Nothing really happened, it was invented.

00:07:45 and the tears are glycerin-induced...

00:09:33 Or did using different cameramen influence the visual style?

00:11:02 Because, at least for me, the actual job of directing is very boring.

00:12:39 Did one stand out? -No.

00:14:11 It indicates the lighting...

00:15:48 I just mentioned that.

00:19:33 I see no reason to think about...

00:35:49 You'll see there is a lot of chance involved in all of them.

00:38:07 You have to find out who he is, because he is there only for you.

00:39:45 and the pride of being Polish. We talked about that.

00:41:30 At the same time, people in the West look at things much like anyone...

00:43:24 But why such huge projects? -They don't happen very often.

00:45:11 It's about the increasing complications of our lives, of our situation today.

00:46:51 but I guess the people who write about it do. It doesn't matter that I don't.
