Overview

In this beautifully illustrated and sympathetic portrait, Annette Insdorf follows the career of her close friend from war-torn Warsaw - where he reduced prison sentences by recording political trials during that country's dark period of martial law - to his 1994 Academy Award nomination for Best Director. Published in paperback for the first time, this edition includes an updated introduction with information on the much anticipated release of Heaven (Summer 2002) which Kieslowski wrote and planned to film, before he died unexpectedly in March 1996. This book will appeal to scholars, students and general film enthusiasts. Review and feature coverage is expected throughout the national and film press.
