I've read that this Kieslowski film is so powerful that it more or less lead to the end of capital punishment in Poland. And you can see why. Shot in green / yellow filters with darkened sections of the screen, I don't think I've ever seen such intentional vignetted cinematography like that before. It's quite a surreal experience and one which I'm sure the Warsaw tourist board were over the moon at. The message is clear. There's too much killing in the world. Please Stop it.
