Happy Birthday, Krzysztof

Kieslowski_grave
Krzysztof Kieślowski was born today in Warsaw, in 1941. He wanted to direct in the theatre but there wasn't room at school, so he went into film as an intermidate step. Of course, he never went "further", but what an intermediate! The Decalogue and Three Colors are world-famous, and rightly so...

His grave in Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw bears the classic 'framing hands' - the view through which he showed us so much.
