The film captures the life of 3 man

The film captures the life of 3 man, a homeless wanderer (Jacek), taxi driver (Waldemar) and a passionate lawyer (Piotr) and how those 3 life intersect each other. To be brief, Jacek murders Waldemar and later, Piotr represent Jacek as his criminal defense lawyer. Most significantly, the film shows how the death of Jacek’s little sister took a mental toll on him which also exacerbated because she died due to his drunken friend. Subsequently, this created a soft spot in Jacek for kids. However, at the same time, this led him to violence. The release of this film provoked and resulted in the suspension of capital punishment in Poland at the time. The sorrow emotions and feelings of Jacek captured in the film transcends that of other Kieslowski’s films as well as of any other Polish film.

Kieślowski gave us the spiral insanity of cruelty

Kieślowski gave us the spiral insanity of cruelty and unfairness that we live with in A Short Film About Killing. From the very beginning, with the mouse and cat scene, he shows us how the world works. At the time, this film was more than just an interpretation of one of the Ten Commandments. It served its purpose, making the country rethink and ultimately abolish the death penalty. The three main characters embody different aspects of this moral struggle. One appears simply malicious, and only at the end do we understand the reasons behind his cruelty. The taxi driver also shows small but telling acts of ugliness, such as refusing rides and frightening dogs. And then we have the lawyer, who seems to see everything with clarity and a sense of justice, but soon realizes that nothing truly depends on him. This is a film that confronts us with the horror of killing in all its forms.
