Aside from that, Three Colours Blue is intentionally part of Kieslowski's trilogy for a reason, and Gerona would ideally have to be part of a trilogy to be considered in the same sense. The problem with the viewing of the three films of Kieslowski's Trilogy as well as the ten episodes of his Decalogue is that some film-goers have begun to regard the films as separate entities rather than different views of one same film. In the case of the Decalogue, this can lead to overlooking the subtle threads linking the different characters who live on the same Warsaw housing estate. To be honest, the individual characters of the Decalogue are not as important as the issues Kieslowski was trying to raise. The broad analogy of the Decalogue episodes with the Catholic Ten Commandments was primarily for the benefit of the predominantly Catholic Polish audience but there was much more than just ten Bibical commandments being handled by Kieslowski in the Decalogue. Returning to the film Gerona, I think I will have to watch it again this weekend but from a different angle.<br /><br />Alexandre FABBRI<br />KIESLOWSKI'S WORLDAlexandre FABBRIhttp://www.weronika.freeserve.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
