The fifth in this series of dramas inspired by the Ten
Commandments shows the appalling brutality of murder.
Shot through yellow and green filters to heighten the disturbing mood, Krzysztof Kieslowski 's film unsparingly witnesses two killings.
The feature film A Short Film about
Killing, developed from this programme, won the Jury Prize and the International Critics' Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1988 and has been hugely acclaimed throughout the world.
