Decalogue V

The Decalogue - V is the fifth part of the television series The Decalogue by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski, connected to the sixth imperative of the Ten Commandments: "Thou dost not murder". A brutal and seemingly motiveless murder brings together a young drifter, Jacek, a taxi driver, and an idealistic lawyer, Piotr. This is the only one of the films with an explicit political stance, reflecting Kieślowski's opposition to the death penalty. An expanded 84-minute cinema version of this episode was released as Krótki film o zabijaniu.
