The Decalogue: I-III - 6

The Decalogue was originally show on television in Poland from 1987-1989. It is the work of Krzysztof Kieslowski (director of the trilogy Blue, White, and Red, as well as Heaven) and Krzysztof Piesiewicz (co-author with Kieslowski of The Decalogue and Three Colors trilogy). Each episode is "based" on each of the corresponding commandments and are about an hour long each. The first disc contains the first three commandments (no other gods, no created image of God, and no abuse of God's name). These films take a lot of patience. They are artfully done, but that also means that you will miss something if you don't have a somewhat long attention span. These films are good at asking good questions: the meaning of life, God, death, love, etc. These films seem to show how applicable the commandments might still be in modern life.
note: I promise to drop the film snobbiness and get back to popular culture soon.
