Decalogue VIII
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maid, nor his goods, nor anything that is your neighbor's."


A man dies leaving an extremely valuable stamp collection to his two sons, Jerzy and Artur. Although they know very little about stamps, they are unwilling to sell. They learn that one very rare stamp is needed to complete the valuable set. To acquire the stamp Jerzy donates his kidney - the man in possession of the stamp is in need of a kidney for his daughter. Returning from hospital, Jerzy and Artur find that they have been burgled. The entire stamp collection is gone. Shamefully, they confess that they suspected each other and are reconciled.

Best one of the bunch. Only one I can remember with explicit humor. And the two leads are clearly the strongest "actors" in all the casts. Imo, anyway. Begins the tone of what would become White.

Hmmm, are you one of those rare souls, like me, who think White was the best entry in the Three Colours series?
SoNowThen
On first watching I'd say it was very close between White and Red for me. But the second time through, it was Blue that took over. I'm doing round #3 this weekend, so I'll be able to say for sure on Monday...


Monday Edit: Everytime I watch, and finish White, I say "that's the best one". Then I get to Red, and it blows me away all over again. So Red by a mile, for tops in Three Colors (though it's essential to watch the other two to get the final effect...). Irene Jacob *swoon*!!!!
