Krzysztof Kieślowski

One of my New Year's goals is to focus on the work one director and one musician every month. With the directors, it's an attempt to intentionally continue my film education and see a lot of films I need to see, and with the musicians, I'm trying to learn something about music since I know next to nothing about it.

The first semester I tried to go back to Pitt (but had to drop out of all my classes for various reasons)I was enrolled in a class about Krzysztof Kieślowski and out of all the classes I was taking, I was most broken-hearted about having to drop this one. In the two classes I attended we watched the first of the Three Colors trilogy and I was in love. But as much as I enjoy his work, I've seen very few of his films. I actually own Dekalog, his ten one hour films based on the ten commandments, but have only watched the first film. So far this month I've rewatched that first film and I'm hoping to watch Blue with some friends some time this week...

Please pass on the invitation to others and hopefully see you there!
