Kieslowski’s biggest point made between the two films (KILLING and LOVE) is that love is the great equalizer. KILLING and LOVE are more refined versions of their DEKALOG counterparts like gems that have been cut and shaped beautifully by a master of his craft.
Well aware that Hitchcock and Michael Powell have been down these streets before him, Kieslowski turns in an absolutely masterly movie that yields equal parts of humour and wry emotional truth.
Kieślowski’s deceptively simple film... might have been inspired by the most straightjacket-like of God’s interactions with humankind, but it speaks with the tranquility of a parable.
