Film: The Decalogue: One (1988)

Director: Krzysztof Kieslowski

“The Decalogue” was a 1988 Polish television drama shot as a series of short films.  During the 1980s, Polish society lived through the trauma of martial law and the collapse of the Communist system.  Kieslowski’s explicit intention was to “examine the moral condition of contemporary society.”
