Krzysztof Kieślowski's untimely death in 1996 robbed cinema of one of its great visionaries. Published a year before his passing, this 1995 English paperback edition of Kieślowski on Kieślowski, published by Faber & Faber and edited by Danusia Stok provides an rare, intimate insight into his world, moving between Poland and France and creating some of the most important cinematic works of the late 20th century.

"Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique and his new trilogy, Three Colours, have earned Kieslowski his reputation as a world-class film-maker. Kieślowski is notoriously reticent, and even dismissive of his work and talent, but these frank and detailed discussions show a passion for film-making and a career which has been often threatened by political and economic change within Poland. He talks at length about his life: his childhood, disrupted by Hitler and Stalin; his four attempts to get into film school; and what Poland and its future mean to him now."
