Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski's ten-part cycle Dekalog engages with universal questions of human existence, loosely inspired by the Ten Commandments. The fifth episode shows in parallel the training of a young lawyer and a murder, presenting violence unflinchingly as a commentary on capital punishment. In the sixth episode, 19-year-old postman Tomek secretly observes his neighbour Magda through a telescope, increasingly losing control to his longing for her. Set in a Warsaw housing estate of the late 20th century, the series impresses with its documentary-like setting and precise, often silent direction.
