About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Drama
- Description: This masterwork by Krzysztof Kie?lowski (Three Colors) is one of the twentieth century's greatest achievements in visual storytelling. Originally made for Polish television, Dekalog focuses on the residents of a housing complex in post-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Using the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, Dekalog's ten hour-long films deftly grapple with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth, and the passage of time. Shot by nine different cinematographers, with stirring music by Zbigniew Preisner (The Double Life of Veronique) and compelling performances from established and unknown actors alike, Dekalog arrestingly explores the unknowable forces that shape our lives. Also presented are the longer theatrical versions of Dekalog's fifth and sixth films A Short Film About Killing and A Short Film About Love.

The final film from director Stanley Kubrick is an eerily detached exploration of eroticism and obsession, based on the 1926 German novella "Dream Story" by Arthur Schnitzler. An argument on fidelity with his wife Alice (Nicole Kidman) sends Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) wandering into the Manhattan streets and into a variety of sexually-charged scenarios, culminating in a visit to a secret, upper-class orgy that could have dangerous consequences. Sydney Pollack, Todd Field, Marie Richardson, Alan Cumming also star. 159 min.
