Synopsis
Classic Kieslowski….from his early Masterworks to his life in Film
The Scar (1976)
Depicting the shifting fortunes of a rural factory project, Kieslowski's feature film debut combines social critique with rich personal characterizations, pitting community against government, environment against industry and ambition against responsibility in a sprawling, Altmanesque human tapestry of greed, petty conspiracy and self-righteousness.
Camera Buff (1979)
“Suffused with Kieslowski's dry wit and intelligence” (The Chicago Reader), this acclaimed tragicomedy about a documentary maker who chooses the lure of moving images over the people that love him was a watershed in Kieslowski's transition from documentary to fiction filmmaking.
No End (1985)
Seen as the predecessor to Kieslowski’s Three Colours Blue (1993), No End also focuses on the story of a woman coping with the sudden death of her husband. But while BLUE focuses on the psychology of grief and loss, No End exemplifies Kieslowski's career-long interest in the intersection between passion and social politics.
Blind Chance (1987)
A film that has profoundly influenced cinematic storytelling for nearly two decades, Kieslowski blends his trademark passion for character and poetic imagery with a boldly novelistic narrative conceit - the life-guiding intersection of fate, coincidence and choice.
I’m So So (1995)
A remarkable, intimate portrait of the great director featuring Kieslowski's recollections of his life and films, this compelling documentary was completed just a couple of years before the Polish filmmaker’s untimely death.
