Dekalog: Dekalog, dziesiec (1989)
Season 1, Episode 10
10/10
human all too human
9 November 2001
Do not covet thy neighbours oxen (or whatever the material good specified in the commandment happens to be), in Kielowski's hands becomes a master work of human observation. The petty jealousies of two brothers are perfectly captured, in this wry Satirical film. Less unremitingly bleak than Three Colours White (the director's other attack on greed), Dekalog dziesiec gently exposes the folloy of human desires. The satire is more Jane Austin than Jonathan Swift, but remains laugh out loud funny.

It goes with out saying that the acting, photography, script, score, editing etc. are all stunning. The only question is why don't we get stuff like this on T.V. in the west?
