Book Reviews of Kieslowski on Kieslowski
Book Review: The best book on Kieslowski
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book currently written on Kieslowski- surely one of the best film director's of all time? (though perhaps not as good as Bergman-Welles-Hawks-Eisenstein-Kurosawa- but time will tell!). Stok's book takes us through Kieslowski's life, from a childhood seemingly out of 'The Magic Mountain' to documentary filmmaking in Communist-occupied Poland (the story about Kieslowski's method of avoiding being in the army is hilarious!). We learn about his early life, then the foray into cinema- such as 'Camera Buff', 'Blind Chance' & 'No End' (all impossible to see in the UK- the second ripped off for the mediocre 'Sliding Doors'). We then move to his career-defining 'Dekalog' (which I first saw on BBC2 by accident) and the cinematic extensions: the short films about killing & love. We get some great anecdotes & photographs; a revealing section on 'The Double Life of Veronique' and finally, a short overview of the 'Three Colours trilogy' (which he was editing at the time of this books conception). The only flaw is the lack of material on the 'Three Colours' and the abscence of Kieslowki commenting on his intention to write films based on 'The Divine Comedy'. Much better than the good value pocket essentials; this is the book for the major fan of the late, great Kyzsztof Kieslowski.
