Why Krzysztof Kieślowski? Because I miss him a lot. He was a unique artist who told us so much about the world and about ourselves. Today, his wisdom, tolerance and boundless honesty would be so important. I love his powerful dramas, such as Camera Buff, Blind Chance and the Three Colours trilogy, but I chose A Short Film about Killing, which can be summarised in just one sentence: a twenty-year-old man murders a taxi driver, and is convicted and hanged. So little, yet so much. It is a film about two deaths: one brutal, dealt in cold blood, and the other one equally brutal, but occurring in the majesty of law. A cry in defence of human life. It is also a story about a world where evil is commonplace. I think that, today, when armed conflicts are waged in various parts of the world, when terrorism is growing, nationalism is revived, and social life is steeped in aggression, this film needs to be brought to the audience’s attention once again. As a powerful warning.
