Heaven, Hell and Purgatory Collection
3 films · 0 watched
Krzysztof Kieslowski trilogy co-written with Krzysztof Piesiewicz, consisting of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory and inspired by Dante's The Divine Comedy. As was originally intended for the Decalogue, the scripts were ostensibly intended to be given to other directors for filming, but Kieślowski's untimely death means it is unknown whether he might have broken his self-imposed retirement to direct the trilogy himself. The only completed screenplay, Heaven, was filmed by Tom Tykwer and released in 2002. The other two scripts existed only as thirty-page treatments at the time of Kieślowski's death; Piesiewicz has since completed these screenplays. Hell (2005): Directed by Bosnian director Danis Tanović and starring Emmanuelle Béart. Purgatory, which is about a photographer killed in the Bosnian war, remains unproduced. Hope (2007): Directored by Ibo Kurdo and Stanislaw Mucha, this may be considered the third part of this trilogy.
