Decalogue Nine & Ten

(Dekalog, dziewięć & dziesięć, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Poland 1989, 60 & 59 min., DCP, Polish w/subtitles)

The Decalogue. In Decalogue Nine, a heart surgeon has his worst fears confirmed: he is untreatably impotent. His compassionate wife assures him that it doesn’t matter, but he can’t help spying on her. Finally, the lure of material things is explored in the darkly comic Ten, as an inherited stamp collection worth a fortune upsets the lives of two impoverished brothers.

Presented in collaboration with the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies, University of Rochester.
