Born in 1941 in Poland, Kieślowski first gained the attention of the international film community in 1979 with the release of his feature drama Camera Buff. In 1988 Kieślowski began working on his ten-part television miniseries The Decalogue. Later, he turned two episodes of the critically lauded series into feature films; A Short Film About Love and A Short Film About Killing. These releases raised Kieślowski’s status internationally, which he later topped with the release of The Double Life of Véronique. His Three Colors Trilogy is considered his most internationally celebrated and critically acclaimed work to date.
