"Dekalog" was a miniseries for Polish television in 1988, set in late-Communist Poland and loosely based on the Ten Commandments. It was made by Krzysztof Kie?lowski, who also adapted some of them for theatrical release. The series has now been re-mastered and will go into limited release in the United States. (Three theaters on September 2, more later, but probably still a small number, since the whole thing must run nearly ten hours.) It will also be released as a DVD collection by Criterion, including additional material such as the two movie versions.l
It gets a rave review in the Wall Street Journal today (September 1). The WSJ has a paywall, but you may be able to read the review by Googling the exact title: ‘Dekalog’: Where Biblical Law and Polish Cinematography Meet
