Entertainment Reviews:
...Rarest of all are those films that are so accomplished, so overwhelming, so profound that seeing them on screen is nothing less than a privilege. Krzystof Kieslowski's THE DECALOGUE is such an event...
Los Angeles Times
...Fresh, vivid, living art....Relentlessly contemporary... -- 5 out of 5 stars
Premiere
[T]he cumulative impact of all the films makes seeing the entire DEKALOG one of cinema's premier experiences, each segment, like each commandment, has an independent existence. Viewing even one is rewarding, no matter which episode is chosen.
Los Angeles Times
...[The series] stands as a masterwork of modern cinema, essential viewing for anyone who cares about the movies as a serious art form...
New York Times
...An extraordinary series of 10 films....The individual DECALOGUE films strike at a deep personal level...
Chicago Sun-Times
DEKALOG is a single grand entity, greater than the sum of its sometimes stupendous parts. Think of it as the televisual and/or cinematic equivalent of Joyce’s 'Dubliners', providing a monumental, probing yet playful snapshot of Warsaw in the late 1980s. -- Grade: A
A.V. Club
...It manages to visualize ideas in compelling dramatic fashion....The rapturous praise bestowed upon the series is, indeed, well deserved...

Product Description:
One of the greatest and most ambitious cinematic achievements, Krzysztof Kieslowski's THE DECALOGUE consists of 10 short films inspired by the Ten Commandments. Each film takes place in and around the same area of late-20th-century Warsaw, provoking timeless ethical and moral questions for this era. Specifically, the films address personal issues dealing with family, friends, love, life, and death. Winner of awards from the Venice, São Paulo, and Cannes film festivals and originally made for Polish television, Kieslowski's masterwork has been screened all over the world to international acclaim. The video release will give viewers the opportunity to revisit each episode and discover characters from the other films that pop up in the background of the current story and might also help to better explain the mysterious presence of Artur Barcis, a quiet onlooker who might be an angel or a devil. Kieslowski, collaborating with cowriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz, has made a series of films that feel small and intimate yet are actually epic commentaries on modern human existence, making THE DECALOGUE a lasting work of art.
