Episode 98: Krzysztof Kieslowski

The great Bill Ackerman is back once again for another wonderful conversation on one of my favorite directors, Krzysztof Kieślowski.  He had to endure a very difficult upbringing in his native country, but he eventually went to a renowned and highly acclaimed film school where he honed his craft alongside greats like Polanski.  We try to cover nearly everything but there was no way we could discuss each individual chapter of THE DECALOGUE, but we touch upon that as well as the majority of his films including CAMERA BUFF, BLIND CHANCE, and THREE COLORS as well.  Thank you so very much for listening!00:00 - 19:20 - Introduction / Business / Amazon Gift Card Contest!19:21 -20:13 - Director Song20:14 - 58:43 - Early Work, Camera Buff, No End, Blind Chance58:44 - 01:55:13 - The Decalogue (A Short Film About Love, A Short Film About Killing), The Double Life of Veronique01:55:14 - 02:44:07 - Three Colors (Blue, White, Red)02:44:08 - 02:52:35 -  Top 5 Kieslowski Films, OutroPatrick Ripoll and Sergio Mims return in about a month to talk about the legendary Michael Curtiz in about a month as a Christmas present.  So yes, CASABLANCA will be deconstructed at length as well as several others from his extensive filmography.  Until then, I encourage you to send me your name via email and you'll be entered to win an Amazon Gift Card for $25.  Winner will be selected around Christmas.  Send your emails to win:  [email protected]:http://popcultureclub.net This is a public episode.
