Intimate portrait of a great director, 9 December 1999 Author: GMeleJr from Miami & Sao Paulo, BR This film (video) richly illustrates the life of the great Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski. It was completed just a couple of years before his untimely death. He comes off as a simple man, not at all like the great cinematic genius he was. The film, at 56 minutes, is just long enough to sustain our interest without becoming boring. Though interesting for Kieslowski fans, other film fans may not find this film to give much more insight on the director than what is already known.
