Thou shalt not kill

Thou shalt not kill (Polish: Krótki film o zabijaniu, literally: short film about killing) is a Polish film director Krzysztof Kieślowski's 1988. It is the extended version of a TV film length to cinema from the series Dekalog. ==Story[ Edit] == The film shows three characters: a brutal taxi driver who finds his fellow men to take pleasure in taunting, a wandering young man who kills time with vandalism, and a recently graduated lawyer who to his law career begins. The Wanderer gets into the taxi and let him drive to a deserted country road, where he tries to bring the driver bystrangulation, and finally the skull strikes him with a stone. After his arrest he gets the lawyer as counsel. However, his chances in the process are nil by the crushing burden of proof and the lack of experience of the lawyer. The wanderer is sentenced to death and hanged. ==Division Of Roles[ Edit] == ==Receipt and prices[ Edit] == The film brings on a chilly way both the murder of the taxi driver and the execution of the death penalty in image. This lousy so much emotions in Poland that all planned executions from 1989 were suspended, until the death penalty was abolished formally in 1998.
