Kieslowski on Kieslowski - Tapa dura

This is one of a number of books about directors and their work. Krzysztof Kieslowski's films were brought to the attention of the international audiences with "Decalogue". Since then his reputation as a world-class film-maker has been firmly established with "The Double Life of Veronique" and "Three Colours", showing a move away from his documentary roots towards a more intimate and even spiritual style of film-making. In this book, the director comments on each of his films in turn, describing the circumstances of his life while they were being made - occasionally under great pressure from the censors - and comments on his life now with candour and wit.
