Krzysztof Kieslowski
When you watch a film and learn more about it, you not only learn about the art of filmmaking that the director can teach you, but also the art of being a filmmaker. Biographies, DVD bonus material, and, sometimes even trivia have a purpose. They can teach the latter. I have been quite an admirer of Kieslowski�s films, and now I have got to learn more about him. If Stanley Kubrick taught me the arrogance a filmmaker needs to possess, Kieslowski has taught me the humility that is as important, to be successful.
Strange, that I have for teachers those whom I�ve never met and never will have a chance to: they will never know me too. But yet we have communicated a lot.
