It's so long since I've seen the films -- probably ten years or more -- that I don't recall the specifics well enough to say much about the tension per se, the abiding memory is more about the visuals and the emotion.<BR/><BR/>With Dekalog I remember the first film as being very powerful and I had to go back and watch it to remind myself or rediscover what the source of that power was. Thinking about it now, whichever number it is, the film also known as A Short Film about Killing -- about the death sentence -- would probably also make a great study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-69093898146878440612008-10-05T21:36:00.000-04:002008-10-05T21:36:00.000-04:00Thanks for these thoughts, Nigel!

I loved the Three Colours trilogy and after reading what you say about the tension and suspense -- the anticipation and the foreshadowing, I am excited about seeing The Decalogue (Dekalog).<BR/><BR/>I loved what you said about the evolution of our hope as contrasted to the evolution of our expectations!<BR/><BR/>What did you think of the tension and suspense in the Three Colours Trilogy ---another masterpiece!<BR/><BR/>I hate tension in real life but it is oh so important in the stories we write!<BR/><BR/>Woohoo Nigel and MM and all the contributors to this awesome blog-a-thon!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063430465025219581noreply@blogger.com
