The Decalogue
An iconic work of Polish cinema, rethought thirty-five years after its creation.
A reflection upon the moral foundations of the present – in 1980s and now. Ten sequential episodes linked to the Ten Commandments of the Bible raise questions about the meaning of the latter in the 21th Century and about the differences between this Century and the previous one.
