「《殺誡》中每個主角都孤獨地生活著，事實上，他們無法改變甚麼。」
"Each one of the main characters in A Short Film About Killing lives alone and is, in fact, incapable of doing much."

 
殺誡
A Short Film About Killing
(Krotki Film O Zabijaniu)
波蘭 Poland / 1988 / 84min / 35mm / Colour
波蘭語對白．英文字幕 In Polish with English subtitles

 一個瘦弱男孩殺死大隻佬的士司機，用了七分鐘。法律殺死這個男孩，用了五分鐘。導演刻意將暴力的殺人行徑和死刑並置，對暴力之嚴厲指控 ─ 不論那是基於任何名義 ─ 可謂昭然若揭。當年影片上映時，還成為波蘭反對死刑人士的影像宣言。《十誡》中以此片影像最為風格化，攝影師伊茲克特別製作了六百個顏色濾鏡拍攝不同焦距鏡頭，全片籠罩於冷漠的綠黃調子，彷彿透過殺人者之眼，觀察著冷漠髒亂的城市、孤單封閉的人心，張力驚人。男孩步向死亡一幕，以冗長的鏡頭紀錄最細節的行刑準備，國家機器殺人之精準，豈不教人不寒而慄？《十誡之第五誡》的長版本。
A frail young boy murders a stocky taxi-driver. This takes seven minutes. The law murders the boy. This takes five minutes. Two acts of murder run in parallel in the film, and the director's indictment of violence -- no matter what are the reasons behind -- is crystal-clear. When the film was shown in Poland, a heated debate on capital punishment by chance was starting and the film found its place in the campaign. This film has the most stylistic images among all other Decalogues. The cinematographer Slawek Idziak specially made 600 greenish filters to cater for lens with different focal length. The world looks cruel, dull and empty through these lenses as if they are seen from the killer's eyes. In the prolonged scene of the death of the condemned boy, viewers are not spared any shocking details of the whole sequence of the execution. The precision and ruthlessness of a state-machine provokes audience's reflection. This is an extended cinema version of Decalogue 5.
