Abstract

The 'Three Colours Trilogy 'by Krzysztof Kieslowski (1941-1996) is generally regarded as a major triumph of European cinema. An examination of how the ideals of the French Revolution--liberty, equality and fraternity--have meaning in modern life, the trilogy combines visual elegance, narrative complexity, and virtuoso performances to extraordinary effect. In this highly personal appreciation of the trilogy, Geoff Andrew analyzes how Kieslowski used his command of the cinema to open up the inner lives of his characters and to chart the way in which these lives are ruled by unseen forces. For Andrew, the trilogy is a poignant, thrilling hymn to the resilience of compassion in the face of adversity. Tracing the links between the trilogy and Kieslowski's earlier work, he argues that 'Blue '(1993), 'White', and 'Red '(both 1994) are the summation of Kieslowski's art. This book, which concludes with one of the last interviews Kieslowski ever gave, is a tribute to an exceptional filmmaker.

Abstract

"This book traces the development of the Polish theory of history, analyzing how Jerzy Topolski, Krzysztof Pomian, and Olga Tokarczuk have both built upon and transgressed the metahistorical theories of American historian Hayden White. By deconstructing and reconstructing contemporary theories of history, this research is a unique contribution to the fields of historiography and the philosophy of history"--

Abstract

Selon Jean-Louis Leutrat, "les larmes sont un sujet éminemment cinématographique" . Connues pour leur faculté de purification, d'échange et d'union, les larmes permettent aux personnages de communiquer leurs désirs d'être accueillis les uns dans les autres. Mais de même, dans certains films, un combat constant entre les larmes et la séparation sert de moteur narratif et de référent visuel. Ces larmes peuvent être parfois dans l'incapacité de surgir. Une dynamique propre aux larmes permet ainsi de mieux saisir cette tension entre le besoin des personnages d'établir une union et une stratégie dominante de la séparation. Chez Douglas Sirk, Krzysztof Kieslowski et Ingmar Bergman, Dévoilement, communion et conversion sont les trois étapes de la dynamique engendrée. Dans cette dynamique, et dans la mise en crise des larmes, un transfert des larmes devient indispensable et se matérialise de différentes manières chez les trois cinéastes dont les œuvres offrent à cette donnée filmique une dimension visuelle et dramatique supplémentaire.

Abstract

This collection is the first to offer a genuinely interdisciplinary approach to Krzysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue, a ten-film cycle of modern tales that touch on the ethical dilemmas of the Ten Commandments. The cycle's deft handling of moral ambiguity and inventive technique established Kieslowski as a major international director. Kieslowski once said, Both the deep believer and the habitual skeptic experience toothaches in exactly the same way. Of Elephants and Toothaches takes seriously the range of thought, from theological to skeptical, condensed in the cycle's quite human tales. Bringing together scholars of film, philosophy, literature, and several religions, the volume ranges from individual responsibility, to religion in modernity, to familial bonds, to human desire and material greed. It explores Kieslowski's cycle as it relentlessly solicits an ethical response that stimulates both inner disquiet and interpersonal dialogue.
