A Short Film About Killing ( 1988 ) Polish
From the maker of Colors trilogy Krzysztof Kieslowski with his trademark shots written all over it. Dont get carried away by the name as its not a movie about any serial killer or any gore one but instead this movie talks more about the mind of a sick sadistic person and the brutal truth about capital punishment which is more sickening then the actual murders itself. Can one killing through death sentence will help to fix things concerning to other killing? this is exactly portrayed in this film. While this movie travels via three extreme subjects one being a taxi driver , another being a lost sick minded youngster and finally a legal practitioner in a law firm. How their life comes together leaving a long lasting scar forms the core part of the story. Coming to the movie , its bit slow as it has to travel through the eyes of characters yet it could have been made a little better, though this movie succeeds in portraying what it tried to say. Ending was heart throbbing , highly impacting and thought provoking. Not the best movie as it might not appeal to many but yet its not a movie to be skipped too.
