2023 Golden Horse Classic Film Festival Presents 43 Works by Krzysztof Kieślowski
The Double Life of Veronique & Three Colors Trilogy in 4K Digital Restored Premiered in Taiwan |
2023-05-17 |
The Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Executive Committee and Taichung Film Development Foundation collectively present the 2023 Golden Horse Classic Film Festival: Retrospective: Krzysztof Kieślowski, a thorough retrospective dedicated to the late maestro with 43 of his works spanning from fiction feature, documentary, short films to the rarely-seen TV dramas, in addition to the documentary Still Alive: A Film About Krzysztof Kieślowski. The festival will be in Taipei and Taichung this July and August. It marks the largest in scale and the most integrated presentation ever to Kieślowski in Taiwan. The much beloved The Double Life of Véronique and the Three Colors Trilogy will also be screened in the latest 4K digital restored version for the first time in Taiwan.
The retrospective traces back to Kieślowski’s early works in the 60s, revealing signs of his latter works and demonstrating his incomparable talents as a filmmaker. For the 70s, there are TV movie Personnel, resonating his brief career in theater, his debut feature The Scar, and aboundful documentaries. With varied formats and contents, not only does he challenge the aesthetics of documentary, he also collides with the existing system. Some of the works were therefore banned for some time, but years after in the present time, they speak even more loudly and still make sense.
After Camera Buff won the Golden Prize in Moscow International Film Festival, Kieślowski became the Polish cinema's flag bearer. The fresh and innovative setting of Blind Chance has inspired many great works followed up; No End is widely considered as the prototype for many of his own masterpieces; TV series Dekalog masterfully interprets the Ten Commandments with contemporary dilemmas, and the derivative A Short Film About Love and A Short Film About Killing earn him the international recognitions. The following The Double Life of Veronique and Three Colors Trilogy pushed his reputation to the peak.
In curating this retrospective, the Golden Horse manages to acquire the rarely-seen four TV dramas – Checking the King, Culling, Two for the Seesaw and The Card Index. And the documentary Still Alive: A Film About Krzysztof Kieslowski delivers some other rare aspects of Kieślowski, featuring filmmakers like Juliette Binoche, Irène Jacob and Wim Wenders.
