The Enigmatic Cinema of Krzysztof Kieslowski0

Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colours tril­ogy is a mon­u­men­tal work that blends cin­ema, phi­los­o­phy and music in a seam­less whole. Kieslowski started his career shoot­ing doc­u­men­taries and later became asso­ci­ated with the cin­ema of moral anx­i­ety, which grouped sev­eral Polish direc­tors, includ­ing ‘Andrzej Wajda’, and aimed to depict the con­di­tions of Poles under com­mu­nism. His best known work was the three col­ors series Red, White, and Blue. Red brought him an Academy Award nom­i­na­tion for best direc­tor in 1995, Blue shared the Golden Lion at Venice in 1993, and White earned Kieslowski the best direc­tor prize in Berlin, 1994.
