Thou Shalt Not ...

Each one of Krzysztof Kieslowski's 10-part Decalogue is constructed carefully enough to be seen on its own. But together, they are a jigsaw puzzle of color, texture, emotion, and meaning. We take a look at this extraordinary series, which the Austin Film Society will screen at the Alamo Drafthouse on Saturdays through March 3.

Camera Buff

Grave, dryly funny, even farcical, Camera Buff is a little-seen but worthy effort from the late Polish master Kieslowski.

Film Geek

Unfortunately, this low-budget portrait of a socially inept film-store geek is annoyingly two-dimensional, and the film's paper-thin plot and flat jokes don't help either.

The Double Life of Veronique

Kieslowski's movie is told not so much in customary narrative structures, but in glimpses, hints, and intimations. On the same day in 1968, two women are born, one in Poland, the other in France. Though the two share many characteristics, they live worlds apart. Yet each senses the other and has intuitive knowledge of the other's presence.
