I have to admit I found Double Life a little dopey, if gorgeous, on a recent rewatch. kinda pleasantly coasts on Jacob's beauty a lot of the time.

Lots of Decalogue hits hard and sticks with you forever, but if there's any consolation the final installment offers a tiny respite in the form of comedy, albeit very dark comedy.

Among pre-Blind Chance features, I can vouch for The Scar, Camera Buff and No End — all great.

I love Camera Buff, Dekalog feels like cheating, also it's TV

The #1 and #2 from this poll don't seem debatable. Granted, I still need to see Blind Chance.

A Short Film About Killing or Red, the latter one of my key cinematic experiences

assuming the early features ppl are vouching for hold up, he must have one of the most consistent filmographies ever

Dekalog, and it's not even close. Otherwise, Red.

xpost You mean thematically?

Or qualitatively?
I've seen Blind Chance and the last six of these films. Kieslowski's aesthetic seems so much of its time, both visually and in terms of the "high-art" aura that starts taking over with Veronique.
I voted Three Colours: White. Something about its gentle cynicism makes me feel that the film is closer to his personality than Blue and Red, which feel a little bit like he is putting on airs.

Crazy. Madness. That Dekalog didn't top this.

didn't see this poll, I liked the Three Colors films and really liked Dekalog, and especially A Short Film About Killing expanded from Dekalog 5.
Still haven't seen The Double Life of Veronique
