**Krzysztof Kieślowski (1941-1996)** was an influential Polish director and screenwriter, renowned for his profound exploration of the human condition and moral dilemmas.

Beginning his career with documentaries that subtly criticized the communist regime, he later transitioned to fiction, developing an introspective and philosophical style. His most celebrated work is the **"Dekalog" (1988)**, a series of ten medium-length films inspired by the Ten Commandments, which examines everyday ethical choices and the complexity of modern life.

Internationally, he gained fame with **"The Double Life of Véronique" (1991)** and especially with the **"Three Colors" trilogy ("Blue", "White", "Red", 1993-1994)**. These films are characterized by complex plots, significant coincidences, and a reflection on fate, freedom, and brotherhood, becoming milestones of contemporary European cinema. His style is recognizable for its attention to detail, the psychological depth of characters, and the symbolic use of colors.
