A Short Film About Killing
Ölümün Gölgesinde Adalet Arayışı: Kieslowski'den Sarsıcı Bir Anlatı.
Director: Krzysztof Kieślowski
ABOUT
A Short Film About Killing
Jacek, who leads a life completely detached from society, is a man who struggles to communicate with people. One day, he murders the driver of a taxi he's riding in and is caught and brought to trial.
Ostensibly, he committed the murder for no reason. There isn't a single piece of evidence that could be in his favor. Piotr, an idealistic lawyer who has just obtained his license, takes on Jacek's defense despite all these adverse circumstances. Will idealism or reality prevail? The question that weighs heavily on the mind is: "Is there any difference between a system that coldly orders the death penalty and ordinary murderers?"
A Short Film About Killing, one of the most unforgettable films by Krzysztof Kieslowski, one of the greatest filmmakers in Polish and world cinema history, was filmed back-to-back with his work on love, A Short Film About Love. The director, who adapted two of his ten short films based on the Ten Commandments into feature films, questions not only death but also societal values with this film.
