Pocket Essentials is a dynamic series of books that are concise, lively, and easy to read. Packed with facts as well as expert opinions, each book has all the key information you need to know about such popular topics as film, television, cult fiction, history, and more. Krzysztof Kieslowski's rise from relative obscurity to being recognized as one of Europe's most gifted film-makers was meteoric. Within a decade he completed The Decalogue, his series of 10 contemporary interpretaions of the Ten Commandments, as well as his celebrated Three Colours trilogy. Then, at the height of his creative powers, Kieslowski announced that he would prefer to retire and sit quietly in a room by himself and smoke, and two years later he died. As well as having an introductory essay, in this book each of Kieslowski's films are discussed in detail, from Camera Buff, the film that first brought Kieslowski to international recognition, to his last film, Three Colours: Red. There is also a handy multi-media reference guide.

From the Publisher
"Pocket Essentials" is a dynamic new series of books that are short, snappy, and easy to read. Packed with facts, as well as opinions, each book has all the key information you need to know about such popular topics as film, television, cult fiction, "parapolitics," and more. In addition to an introduction to the subject, each topic is individually analyzed and reviewed, examining its impact on popular culture. There's also a handy reference section that lists related web sites and all the weightier (and more expensive) books on the subject. For media buffs and students, these are great little entry-level books that build into an essential library.
