Landmark Milestone

Our favorite movie of all time is "The Dekalog," Krzysztof Kieslowski’s10-part series of short films -- powerful morality plays -- inspired by the Ten Commandments. The film, at long last, is getting an update via the Criterion treatment. It's also getting a limited theatrical re-release, but certainly nowhere near Albuquerque.

A brief re-examination of "The Dekalog" is provided by the Onion's AV Club, which calls it "insanely ambitious" and compares it to James Joyce's "Dubliners."

We have plans to revisit the masterpiece from the writer/director who also brought us the Three Colors trilogy ("Blue," "White," "Red") and "The Double Life of Veronique." Expect it this winter. Meantime, here is the trailer:
