He draws a fascinating portrait of the stridently independent director's work, noting that Kieslowski was not afraid to express unpopular views in film or in life. Haltof also shows how the director's work remains unique in the context of Polish documentary and narrative cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marek Haltof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1903364914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781903364918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.24w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 860","brand":"Marek Haltof","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984463102207,"sku":"9781903364918","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ab2dc36-a5ad-4228-9cb7-c6c0f6dbc7b9.jpg?v=1683272449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-krzysztof-kieslowski-marek-haltof-9781903364918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
