Watch Decalogue X For Free

Wonderful Movie

Sorry, this movie sucks

Good movie but grossly overrated

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I can't deny that going up and down the Dekalog has been a slog. But they were designed to air over a period of months, not days, and who ever has breezed through them? Anyway by this point I have garnered all there is to from this project so I watched this last one out of obligation more than actual interest.Thankfully it's the most breezy of the ten. Wisely putting a final sardonic smile to the crushing turns of fate that populate the Dekalogs.It's satire about greed essentially. Two brothers inherit a fortune from a father they hadn't bothered with while alive, lose more than they bargained for, but in the end leave this with certainty about their bond. A liver may have been lost, but such are the ironic machinations of the Dekalog universe, here rendered for amusement.

I just spent a couple of days watching everything by Kieslowski, and after all the gloom of "a short film about killing" and "Dekalog One", it was such a relief to see this beautifully shot comedy about two brothers who inherit their father's precious stamp collection. I won't say anything about the plot, as it is a well-constructed little gem. See it and enjoy it. Stuhr is brilliant as the 'smart one'...

This episode is much more straight-forward and plot-heavy than the other DEKALOGS, but it's a great parable, worth of O. Henry. -dB

I have seen all the Decalog many years ago but I remember it with emotion. All the pieces of this chef d'oeuvre are extraordinary and my favorite movies. But I like this one for the laughter that concluded it...
