Our take

Developed from an episode of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s epic, ten-part television series, Dekalog, this acclaimed romantic comedy-drama tells a darkly twisted and ironic tale of voyeurism and fantasy. Kieślowski brings his typically compelling and cerebral style to explore the feeling—or idea—of love.
