This is the second disc in the series (I didn't mention this is my last post but this whole series is in Polish with subtitles). This one covers the commandments, honor your father and mother, you shall not murder, and you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal. These middle four are very well done, with interesting plots and stories that expand on the meaning of each of the commands. These episodes also bring up good questions about the death penalty and interesting legal puzzles, which more than likely comes from Piesiewicz, who originally went to law school and practiced law before helping to write these films (The obvious connection is that the ten commandments are ancient legal documents). The second disc is easier to understand and a little less obscure than the first. If you are looking for some film-making with depth this is a good place to start.
