Dekalog 6-10

Kieslowski Series, late 80's
6: Another study by Kieslowski of voyeurism
throughout telephoted, early on longer shots. 'Rear Window'
grainy camera, more movement; different ways of looking
as in many of these pieces, change of perspective
like the oan, this compares and at once connects
wish to be looked at, viewed dominates the viewer, then reverse
7:Simply told, simply lit tale
moving away from the block
discussion of madness entaled by relation of parent to child
Kieslowski's confused, dissatisfied, but powerful women
here is a bit pathetic
slightly dissatisying strand, fails to take off; most literary
8: The most self relective so far, about storytelling
use of space at start; false distance
need to tell stories mixed with resistance
trying to understand the need to
again, Kieslowski switches the perspective
9:hard lighting focus on objects
dutch angles: almost pop videoesque
strong narrative here; tension, others holding up
10:End of the series: goofy
high key lighting, dramatic fun images
loopy plot, deadpan humour, quite funny
at the same time most symbolic
brotherly love, and the object as important
to make the symbols, you have this jokiness
1-10: Kieslowski has certainly been exhaustive
beautiful in parts
most succesful at the start, certain aesthetic tiredness as it wears on
relationship to direct politics obtsue at best, more to do with religion early on
and simple hardship later
humanism, though not trowelled on
