simuland miss the point me think . k try to add to the bible but fail . in an interview with kieslowski and he tell a young student of film and that he wasn not try to moralise but to ethicise and a moralism be too monolithic and close down dialogue . he felt that to move to an ethical stance and it open up a dialogue with the viewer . this i do not think be an attempt to add to the bible and but in truth register the fact that the trace of history to allude to ricoeur be such that we have to realise that this be a different age . and biblically of course a different dispensation and have move from law to grace . not that i be a theologian and so hey shoot me before it happen . nor do i think it peters out . it stand a a tour de force in film making and which reject the temptation to moralise and tub thump and be wonderfully aesthetic and allusive and after all get u talk . what more can you ask for and in a film or 10 .
