For the next three Wednesdays of Lent I have kindly been asked to host a seminar on Krzysztof Kieslowski's masterpiece The Decalogue.
This was a series of ten short films -- each one hour in length and based upon one of the Ten Commandments -- that he made for Polish television in the late 1980's. These truly are works of art, both in the writing as well as the visual storytelling, and are strong reminders during this time of Lent of man's great weakness and the darkness through which many travel who suffer from spiritual and moral decay.
The schedule is as follows:
- March 18th ("Thou shalt have no other Gods before me")
- March 25th ("Thou shalt not bear false witness")
- April 1st ("Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's possessions")
