The Decalogue
An iconic work of Polish cinema, rethought thirty-five years after its creation by Krzysztof Kieślowski.
A meditation upon the moral foundations of the present – in the 1980s and now. Ten sequential episodes linked to the Ten Commandments raise important questions about the meaning of the Bible in the 21st century, and about the differences between this century and the previous one.
Please mind that in some scenes during the show appears cigarette smoke, as well as smoke effects.
