Before Krzysztof Kieslowski made his classic films "The Double Life of Veronique" and his "Red", "White" and "Blue" trilogy he made this unique series of made for tv 60 minutes movies called "The Decalogue." Ten tales set in a Warsaw apartment complex.Each telling the story of a tenant living there. Each one touching in a unique side of the human condition. Each story is also based on one of the Ten Commandments, but there's nothing preachy here. Just pure human emotion. Real emotion, not Hollywood "pretend" emotion.
It's hard to describe how good this movie really is and how moving an experience it is to watch it. I tend to agree with LA Times critic Kenenth Turan when he said that to see "The Decalogue" was "nothing less than a privilege."
You will never find this at Blockbuster. I found a behind the counter copy at Borders. It is expensive, but worth it.
