A Short Film About Love

synopsis


A Short Film About Love is the Rear Window style successor to Krzysztof Kieslowski's brilliant A Short Film About Killing, and is another episode in the cycle of films based on the Ten Commandments, Dekalog, Kieslowski's epic project which has taken him several years to complete. Contrary to its title, A Short Film About Love bears no resemblance to what is commonly called love; instead, it focuses on two human beings deprived of the gift of love. A young postal worked falls in love with an older woman who lives in a flat opposite his. She attempts to prove to him that "love" is nothing more than a set of biological impulses, as a reaction to his voyeurism, and draws him into a game in which neither is the winner, the sins of curiosity, vanity and cruelty being their motives. Kieslowski's masterly techniques of meticulous framing, painfully accurate observations and dispassionate objectivity with losing his characters' humanity are distinctly present in this terse, excruciating film about the hunger for love
