Krzysztof Kieslowski (1941 – 1996) is widely recognized as one of the greatest filmmakers of the latter half of the twentieth century. Beginning as a documentarian who took on controversial subjects in communist Poland in the 1960’s and 70’s, Kieslowski gained an international reputation with his later narrative films <I>The Double Life of Veronique</I> and the <I>Three Colors</I> trilogy (<I>Blue, White,</I> and <I>Red</I>). He also made the <I>Decalogue</I>, a celebrated series for Polish television. The first comprehensive analysis of Kieslowski’s entire body of work to be published in English, Annette Insdorf’s book still stands as the best introduction to a uniquely gifted artist. <div></DIV>
