![Arrow Video Dekalog [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71feNIdh1BL.jpg)
Krzysztof Kieslowski's Dekalog is one of the greatest achievements of the late 20th century - as much an intricate work of moral philosophy as it is a collection of psychologically riveting narratives. Each standalone story revolves around the consequences arising from a breach of one of the Ten Commandments, but this is no finger-wagging religious tract: Kieslowski was one of film history's keenest observers of human nature, and his troubled, vainglorious, self-deceiving, deeply flawed characters (many played by some of Poland's finest character actors) are universally recognisable.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS4K restoration of all ten episodes, presented in their original broadcast aspect ratiosOriginal uncompressed Polish mono soundtrack, with optional English subtitlesThe Guardian Interview: Krzysztof Kieslowski, an onstage conversation with Derek Malcolm at London's National Film Theatre on 2 April 1990 to mark the British premiere of DekalogDekalog: An Appreciation, in which critic Tony Rayns, a Kieslowski champion for many decades, pays tribute to his masterpiece

Terrific Polish Blu Rays
Terrific Product by a terrific Polish director. Much acclaimed tv series with 10 episodes depicting human interest stories with each episode regarding one of the 10 Commandments. Great value for money and excellent viewing. Polish language with English subtitles. Highly recommended.

Superb, but….
This is a magnificent series of roughly hour long films. I’m fairly sure that anyone who finds their way here knows what Dekalog is and the Arrow collection is immaculately transferred to bluray. But, and this is quite a large but, the limited edition Dekalog and other tv works Arrow released first is a large amount better. If you just want to see Dekalog this edition is excellent but the extra material in the limited edition make it well worth tracking down. As well as the other tv works you get a number of documentaries which provides a much fuller package. As always the main thing is just seeing Dekalog, it’s a wonder of European culture. But this isn’t the perfect package.

Great collection and price for Polish 1980's TV as art.
Superb collection. I have never forgotten the first time I saw these back in the early 90's when they were first shown on Channel 4. I later bought them on video, for a tidy sum of £39.99 on Atrificial Eye. I lost track of these over the years after VHS went west.I thought I'd treat myself to them on Blu Ray, (which I think is the perfect format for film) and being released by Arrow I knew they're be transferred well. I wasn't disappointed the transfer is superb, you have to remmeber these were made for Polish TV in the late 80's and they'll never look any better than this. They're presented over three discs in simple camshell cover with no booklet.Anyone who has seen these films will know how good they are. Never has the gamut of human emotions been depicted with such sensitivity and honesty. The cinematography and acting is unequalled and after watching them you'll be dreaming about them for months after. A masterpiece!!
