| I'd heard about this series--and how fabulous it supposedly was--for years, so I finally decided to watch. Well, I won't be going any further than THE DECALOGUE: Disc One. I'm not a big fan of Kieslowski--and his jumbled/fumbled mixture of mysticism and religion. Decalogues One through Three offer the usual bleak Eastern European view of life, love, sex, family: you name it, it'll depress you. The first of these is the best, the second less good and the third worst of all. It's not that the acting, direction and writing are terrible. They're believable but predictable and tiresome--the other side of the Hollywood feel-good spectrum and every bit as specious. Perhaps, once you have seen all ten of these roughly-hour-long stories, you'll be awarded some sort of epiphany. I'll have to miss out; these first three weren't good enough to warrant any more time or patience. |
