The Decalogue

Last night I watched the first installment of Kieslowski’s The Decalogue. Very sad. Very powerful. Narrative theology at its best. Don’t preach, just tell the story.

Ebert has a great piece on “The Decalogue” here.

None of these films is a simple demonstration of black and white moral issues. . . At the end you see that the Commandments work not like science but like art; they are instructions for how to paint a worthy portrait with our lives.

So, what are you thinking?
