A Short Film About Killing
Kieslowski's title is accurate: a hideous murder is followed by a hideous execution. Expanded to feature-length by Kieslowski from his hour long "Dekalog" series of dramas inspired by the Ten Commandments. "Based on the Fifth Commandment 'Thou Shalt Not Kill,' this is a psychological vivisection of the brutal and senseless murder of a taxi driver by a young drifter. Miroslaw Baka and Krzysztof Globisz star.
