Description

Perhaps the greatest European director of the last 30 years, Krzysztof Kieslowski created a remarkable body of work in a relatively short period of time. His films are loved around the world for their dramatic power and consummate artistry. Kieslowski's cinematic style stands apart in several important respects: his mastery of abstract imagery, his innovative use of sound and his deliberate circumvention of standard cinematic codes. Unlike many other 'art film' directors, who often fail to rise above commentary on the medium itself, Kieslowski uses these stylistic liberties to explore his philosophical concerns: fate, God, suffering, and love. Through close analysis of films like The Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique, Blue, White and Red, Joe Kickasola identifies the unique qualities, and artistic legacy, of this great director.

About the Author
Joe Kickasola worked for several years as a director in television and film, and currently teaches at Baylor University.

Reviews
"One of the great virtues of Kickasola's book is the seriousness with which it takes Kieslowski's own seriousness about the possibility of transcendence. " -Chronicle of Higher Education, February 18, 2005
Winner of the 2006 Spiritus Award
"Kickasola's readings go into more detail than any other critical book on Kieslowski....Kickasola pays the masterful Kieslowski the very particular and careful attention he deserves....highly recommended." -Choice, January 2005 * Choice *

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
