Krzysztof Kieslowski - master of insight

For me the cinematic language of Kieslowski has always been very special. Although his language is visually sublime, detailed both in the qualities of duration as well as movement and direction it nonetheless never overcrowds or seeks to decorate the events taking place. For me this language is a true language of insight and intuition, language of a true master of cinema.

Also the interplay of the moving images with the soundscapes, speech or music provides yet further pleasure to the spectator of his films. There is also always a certain absence, ineffable, on the screen, giving the spectator more room to grow together with the story.

Kieslowski has always managed to leave me standing on the sharp edge of a knife, but still feeling pleasure!
