With the exception of Kieslowski on Kieslowski (Faber & Faber, 1993), no English-language books about this celebrated Polish director have been published. Insdorf (film studies, Columbia Univ.), who translated for Kieslowski in the United States on many occasions prior to his 1996 death, is just the person to fill this gap. Her study charts Kieslowski's life as a documentarist, television director, and political activist. She begins by introducing readers to his early projects after graduating from the Lodz Film School and then analyzes such landmark works as The Decalog telefilms, The Double Life of Veronique, and the "Three Colors" trilogy. Kieslowski is revealed to be a cinematic poet who crafted light, shadow, and movement into a vision of human fallibility and transcendence. Sympathetic yet critical, intelligent yet accessible, this volume belongs in every research library supporting film studies.
