Uniform Title:
100 pytań do ... Krzysztof Kieslowski
Content:
In 1989 as Communism was crumbling in Poland, Krzystof Kieslowski was a guest on a talk show called 100 Questions (100 Pytan Do). A room full of Polish journalists interrogated Kieslowski about his monumental, recently completed Ten Commandments-inspired compilation, "The Decalogue". The line of questions was amiable until a reporter (Adam Horoszczak) asked Kieslowski, "One of the journalists at Cannes referred to a scene in 'A Short Film About Killing' (Decalogue V), where the priest administers the Last Rites, and asked you whether you believed in God. You answered that you believe in a Supreme Being but you don't need intermediaries. In France this answer is not shocking, but in predominately Catholic Poland, it may seem peculiar. Do you believe in the power of "The Decalogue" to motivate our befuddled, tired and demoralized society?" The tone in the room shifted. Journalists leaned forward to hear the director's reply. Calmly Kieslowski answered, "No, I don't. I don't believe in anything at all. I don't believe film has any motivational power or role. I absolutely do not believe in this. But I do believe that maybe because someone has come in touch with these films, they will want to reflect." [www.filmmakermagazine.com]
