Description
Expanded from Kieslowski's famed European TV series Decalogue (Episode VI was adapted into A Short Film About Love, also available from Umbrella), A Short film about Killing portrays the tragic, parallel destinies of a cab driver, drifter, and lawyer in Warsaw with chilling effect.
A young drifter, Jacek, brutally murders a taxi driver for no comprehensible reason. An idealistic young lawyer is assigned to the case, but when his client is sentenced to death he is riled by the injustices of the legal system.
A powerful rebuke to a world that fights violence through ritualized capital punishment, but still sensationalizes and perpetuates it, Kieslowski's landmark film depicts a decaying society as barbaric as the crimes it outlaws. It also started a debate that led to the abolition of the death penalty in Poland.
