Top CriticNot only ranks as one of the most ambitious and challenging film works ever attempted, but one of the most rewarding and unforgettable.

Far from being morality tales, these short stories are closer to parables — at least, they are as confounding and strange as Jesus' parables were to his first hearers.

Highly ambitious, and though every 'episode' may not be up to par as are others, it still remains a risky and commendable work.

Most of the films put characters into situations in which they cannot obey one commandment without breaking others. Challenges you to figure out how to be a moral person in a world with no easy answers.

Kieslowski gives cinematic voice to ethical problems in a way that perhaps no other director does. These films are bleak, somber, downbeat in theme, but pose problems we need to think about.

Amongst the greatest stories ever told. No serious film scholar can afford to miss it.

See part of it, or see all of it. Just be glad it's around.

Top CriticThe Decalogue finds Kieslowski and co-scenarist Krzysztof Piesiewicz turning a delicate cycle of intimate, funny, heartbreaking, and compassionate works into a symphony of human fallibility.
