Originally intended for Polish television, Krzysztof Kieślowski’s (Three Colors trilogy) legendary Dekalog consists of ten one-hour films inspired by the Ten Commandments. Each film explores one or several moral or ethical issues faced by characters living in a stark apartment block in modern Poland. The series, Kieślowski’s most acclaimed work, won numerous international awards, though it was not widely released outside Europe until the late 1990s. The rerelease, championed by Janus Films, will feature the entire series looking better than it has since its initial release.

DEKALOG: FIVE (60 minutes)
Jacek, an angry drifter, murders a taxi driver, brutally and without motive. His case is assigned to Piotr, an idealistic young lawyer who is morally opposed to the death penalty, and their interactions take on an emotional honesty that throws into stark relief for Piotr the injustice of killing of any kind.

DEKALOG: SIX (61 minutes)
A teenage postal worker, Tomek, routinely spies on his older neighbor Magda, a sexually liberated artist who lives in the apartment across the courtyard from his. As their private worlds merge, fascination turns to obsession, and the line between love and curiosity becomes violently blurred.
