Krzysztof Kieślowski - Remember to keep holy Man! I was at the Naples Film Festival, when leaving the room I met two middle-aged animatedly discussing something. I listened and went with great curiosity to see what get heated so that their speech, then I realized: what could be the subject if not Kieślowski? Blending and closer to the pair apparently senile, but effervescent soul, must be had to fit into the dialogue. Given the hectic post-vision, I could not do otherwise. So, as a beggar's reviews and conversations, when I presented m'inserii in that speech. A
words struck me particularly was the male to say: \u0026lt;\u0026lt;
Humanity, the Humanity of Kies ... >>. That's right, 'Humanity'. That term, so simple and concise, made me think that I could not find better word to express what those visions have given me, that I could not synthesize more adequately what this director wanted to talk over everything. And then, think about it, I think it is just this word, the reason I'm here: it was not a murder case to keep it by all quest'umanità? Certainly he was not happy and also I was definitely a selfish celandola, that is the exact opposite of man Kieslowski.
Krzysztof Kieślowski , born in Warsaw in June of '41, I think is not only an author but, as the woman said the couple's effervescent first: \u0026lt;\u0026lt;
is an artist >> ;. For this woman there was a good director, the author and the artist in fact. According to its definition:
artist is someone who manages to bloom the good man also, and above all, when evil emerges around, even when there is pain and suffering. I realized once again that these guys were right, then I said to myself that I should post more often in speeches, especially if they. So, in summary, one can say that adding the words of these fleeting my friends, it turns out the whole essence of Kies film: a film that "knows" that man, that enhances its merits, although he is aware of the misdeeds, and that opens his heart to show what they need most, and that the wand, but without contempt. Moreover Kies this would never have done it, because his warnings about the same as those of his father to the son, its good. Krzysztof father's love for her offspring you can feel it in every movie, because despite the thousands of removals from the life, death, injustice, the torture, which breaks out and stands imposing is the infinite thirst of life, love. His characters always expect something, they have always wanted to live, love, tenderness. Each of them wants everything in an incredibly natural, instinctive, dare I say primitive. These desires are so central that they become needs, emergencies or rather, that that number of things without which you can not get by. His films are good for your heart breaks because they always this life / vitality, even when there is a half of mourning, betrayal, murder, injustice. In fact there are not only good men in her stories, there is evil, but even when it can secure a victory, even when the check inside the viewer is constantly the feeling that life will win anyway, that a window of opportunity for hope to exist in any time or place. Since short "From the city of Lodz
" emerge unchallenged kieślowskiani the first of the big themes: the desire to live
. Since "The peace
", the first of new films screened at the film festival, the second stands out: the family
, with the
. And finally, already starting with "The cineamatore" makes its way
the desire for justice, a better man. The three major issues are still there, hovering on each story as if, with the humanity of which I spoke above, and the \u0026lt;\u0026lt;Pietas>> (new word of that ingenious gentleman spirited), were the only important elements , the only man to deserve the attention. Pietas because although the man on his way to transfer to defects and aberrations, there is always need for Krzys of compassion, understanding and indulgence. The same piety which binds in glove with the desire to live, to live again, because it is not like being tired, surrender, and yield is not among the features of its characters. See the big picture in front of his filmography (or at least what could be retrieved) filled with joy, makes us exult, exalted. For the simple fact that looking at all those stories, those events large or small, comes out of the celebration of the best part: the heart. The need for human attention and kindness of his characters is always located at the top in his narrations, is a starting point, a staple, a pillar, an element without which they can not breathe. Even when someone is now worn out and weakens some disappointment, loss, infidelity, awakens the desire to have them back continuously. Of course, someone gets lost along the way (
Urszula of "Endless
") and someone else is doing so (The
Binoche's "Blue Film
"
Trintignan in "Red
"
Magda's "Short
film about "
Dorota in
Decalogue II), but all return, and if they do not is because that memory is too strong, that affection is too important to forget. If they do die solely and exclusively for loving too much, it allocates each part of herself to the man / woman. That's why the fancy ladies spoke of humanity: the simple fact that in his poetry a human being can not live without its like.
Kies, however, do not just want the 'peace' and the warmth of interpersonal relationships, but also a new man better, fairer, more fraternal, more human, so in his films often used the theme of Justice. "The Decalogue
" it is almost a compendium, a sort of Bible written in a language that secular, but spiritual, which are enumerated in the new commandments. What is the content of these novel precepts? What inspires you? What to protect? The answer is always the same: Man. Even when we talk about politics (often because it is spoken, species in "The
cineamatore ", in "The case
"), even when one asks questions about the usefulness of imprisonment, up to death ("Do not kill
"), everything still revolves around all ' man. When one does it more when it stops turning around, there, right then, Kies wand. Rebuke the political situation in post-conflict, the usefulness of the term of imprisonment, curries all that is unjust, inhuman. Even religion is one of its arguments, "The Decalogue" is virtually soaked, and also it is often hard, ready to identify the contradictions, the principles hypocrites, inventing other simpler, more tangible, more sensitive. There is no lie that fits, there is no sin, blasphemy who have priority on it, there is no faith, dogma or Redeemer, man comes first. This does not mean denying the existence of a size / abstract entity, indeed, there is always a doubt, a space that leaves uncertain about its presence, in fact in "The Double Life of Veronique
" in the "Decalogue
The ", in" The case
"(and during the course of other works) has given and revealed the existence of a world intangible, inexplicable situations and events, dark, her struggling by any logic. It is therefore fair to say that 'Spiritualism' is another of his themes, but it is a spiritualism that has inevitably a key element in the human soul, if it shows that the axioms or rules, are all designed to protect, preserve local values, true values, those of the heart. Because everything revolves around people, everything.
It is said that according to popular belief, the heart is not only a body that is the center of the engine of the circulatory system, but also the
primum movens spiritual and emotional life. It was just that involuntary muscle to take him away, just the organ that has both praised and applauded. Jokes of life. Probably would have left the same (although was planning a trilogy about "The Divine Comedy
"), but then what to do? He said almost everything there is to do in life, all that really matters.
At the end of his short stories will always beat away a smile, even in the most dramatic and tragic. Laughter born of the knowledge that if everyone were to follow his commandments, the world would be nothing short of magnificent.
more and more I think I have the certainty of having written too little, he had skipped many steps, questions and important concepts. However, I have tried, with my modest means, to leak as much as possible the major, the primary, the essence of his message: the humanitarian one. I can not report, however, the bright picture of
Piotr Jaxa , the extraordinary music of Zbigniew Preisner
(never out of place, never excessive or incidental, but always essential, in line with the pressure of the images and emotions on the screen ) and the collaboration of Krzysztof Piesiewicz
-lawyer, always loyal to the Polish director triad. I consider myself lucky not
, but miraculously to have had the possibility to attend three or four new films and short films. Of the latter there is one that almost struck me, "
The talking heads": a walk through the streets of Warsaw with related interviews Give people more common. Youth, women, elderly, children, confess their ambitions, their dreams, what they want out of life and man. It's so simple, unadorned, yet profound, which is able to achieve alone the essence of poetic kieślowskiana.
