Pawel:You didn’t mention a soul.
Krzysztof: It’s a form of words . . . there is no soul.
Pawel: Auntie says there is.
Krzysztof: Some find it easier to live thinking that.

The Decalogue, created for Polish television. Don’t expect to see any programming like this on US television. It’s thought-provoking, intelligent, fascinating, and compelling, but there is no cartoon level good and evil, no Englilsh speaking heroes, no 6th grade level exposition to explain the plot, and nothing blows up, so Americans won’t be interested.
