Description
Kieslowski on Kieslowski is a candid and insightful exploration of the life and work of one of cinema's greatest visionaries. Written by Krzysztof Kieslowski himself, this frank discussion reveals a passion for film-making that belied his reputation as an enigmatic figure. Born in Poland, Kieslowski's experiences under both Hitler and Stalin had a profound impact on his life and work. His struggle to create films that reflected the complexities of Eastern European identity is mirrored in his own personal journey. As he navigated between Poland and France, Kieslowski created some of the most important cinematic works of the 1990s. This book offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a master filmmaker, one who was both fiercely independent and deeply introspective. Through his own words, we gain a deeper understanding of the creative process that drove him to produce such iconic films as Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique, and the Three Colours trilogy.
