20. yüzyılın büyük yönetmenlerinden Krzysztof Kieslowski'yle yapılan bu söyleşilerde, yönetmenin sinemaya bakışını, ülkesine bağlılığını ve uzaklığını, içindeki kötümserliği, sinemasında içsel hayatları anlatmaya yönelişini, çoklu hikâyelere tutkunluğunu ve kurguya verdiği apayrı önemi vurgulayan görüşlerini okuyacaksınız…
Krzysztof Kieślowski was an influential Academy Award-nominated Polish film director and screenwriter, known internationally for The Double Life of Veronique and his film cycles The Decalogue and Three Colors (Trois couleurs).
کتابی که جزو اولین کتابهایی هست که به لیست میخواهم بخوانم گودریدز اضافه کردم، بعد از اینکه کتاب اتفاق و دو داستان دیگر رو خونده بودم. فهمیدن دیدگاه های کیشلوفسکی خارج از زاویه فیلم هاش جالب هست و از مزیت های کتابه. این رو چندباری از کتابفروشی ها پرسیدم و موجود نبود، چندوقت پیش برای تولدم کتاب میخواستم بخرم و دنبال این بودم چی سفارش بدم و رجوع کردم به لیست گودریدز و به این رسیدم که موجود بود توی سایت. خوشحالم خوندمش بالاخره. کوتاه هست، قسمتهایی از مصاحبه ها تکرار شده اما در کل جالبه. و اسمش بخاطر این هست که کیشلوفسکی اشاره میکنه زندگی تمام چیزی هست که داریم. (امیدوارم مقدار قابل توجهی از لیست میخواهم بخوانم اینجا رو توی تابستون تموم کنم.) پ.ن: باید برم مجدد فیلمهاش رو ببینم.
University Press of Mississippi’s Director Interviews series digs up the more substantial interviews that a given filmmaker has given to the press, translates the foreign-language ones into English, and provides footnotes to explain some obscure references. This entry on Krzystzstof Kieślowski follows the same format.
The interviews span the entire scope of Kieślowski's career, with the first dating from 1968. I admit to skipping over everything related to the first period of his career, so different from the second period. (As I often do on books regarding Béla Tarr, another filmmaker whose work took a very drastic turn at one point.) Thus, I only read the interviews dating from the era Kieślowski made his series of films that won international acclaim: Dekalog, The Double Life of Véronique, and the Three Colours Trilogy.
The interviews made during the filming and release of these pictures do give good a sense of Kieślowski’s general outlook, and occasionally there is interesting. Those who have been struck by the abundance of spiritual metaphors in Kieślowski’s work and occasional Roman Catholic imagery, will be surprised to learn that he was not a believer himself, and in fact had a distrust for Catholicism. And in spite of his films having such powerful scores by Zbigniew Preisner and often musicians as characters, Kieślowski admits to not being much of a music lover at all! One gets the sense that the atmosphere and concerns of his films came about very much from collaborative effort, with not just Preisner but also his cowriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz (who is interviewed alongside Kieślowski at one point here).
While Kieślowski’s very last interviews, made after his retirement, are generally light on information except to express how his left filmmaking because of a general burnout.
Unlike some directors whose interviews reference earlier films heavily, this is not the case with Kieślowski. Sure, he mentions casting Irene Jacob because he saw her in a Louis Malle film, and he expresses a great fondness for the early Godard, but generally Kieślowski does not seem to have been much of a film buff himself. In the last interviews he mentions how he never did see Pulp Fiction, the film viewed as unfairly depriving him of the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1994.
