KRZYSZTOF KIESLOWSKI COLLECTION - 6 DVDs

"Six superlative works from the internationally acclaimed Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski (The Decalogue). Includes Kieslowski's narrative debut, The Scar (1976, 112 mins.), a dramatic film about an earnest Communist Party member who's thrown into the center of a complicated political battle. Jerzy Stuhr stars in Camera Buff (1979, 112 mins.), a biting political satire about a factory worker's fascination with an 8mm movie camera. The man's curious obsession leads to consequences both comedic and tragic. No End (1985, 109 mins.) is a sublime blend of thematic elements both political and spiritual. The film tells the story of a young widow who expresses her love for her dead husband by taking up the cause of striking workers. Blind Chance (1987, 122 mins.) is a narrative essay on chance and destiny about a middle-aged man who's allowed to sample three distinct outcomes that hinge upon whether he catches or misses a speeding train. A Short Film About Killing (1988, 84 mins.) and A Short Film About Love (1988, 86 mins.) are masterful feature-length spin-offs of episodes from The Decalogue. The former won the European Film Academy Award for "Best European Film" in 1988."
