Complete

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Kieslowski not only leaves us to interpret the films, he leaves us to complete them. As Stanley Kubrick says in his foreword to the screenplay of The Decalogue: ‘You never see the ideas coming and don’t realise until much later how profoundly they have reached your heart.’

Affairs

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

Peace

The less inequality you have in a society, the more social peace you have. It’s kind of a no-brainer.
