# Krzysztof Kieślowski

> A Polish director who turned moral inquiry into cinema—*Dekalog*'s ten films on the commandments, *The Double Life of Veronique*'s mysterious doubling, the *Three Colours* trilogy's meditation on liberty, equality, fraternity. He made art-house films that asked how to live, and the world's festivals answered with prizes.

*Polish film director and screenwriter (1941–1996)*

## Bio

Krzysztof Kieślowski was born on 27 June 1941 in Poland and became a film director and screenwriter whose work traced questions of chance, choice, and connection. *Dekalog* arrived in 1989—ten hour-long films, each circling one of the Ten Commandments, winning the Venice FIPRESCI Prize that year. *The Double Life of Veronique* followed in 1991, a story of two women in two countries living parallel lives, taking Cannes' FIPRESCI and Ecumenical Jury prizes. Then came the *Three Colours* trilogy between 1993 and 1994—*Blue*, *White*, *Red*—which brought him Venice's Golden Lion in 1993 and Berlin's Silver Bear in 1994, plus Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay in 1995. He died on 14 March 1996, and six years later the British Film Institute's *Sight & Sound* poll placed him second among modern directors.
