The FIPRESCI Prize given to Kieślowski at the 1989 Venice Film Festival was for his film "A Short Film About Killing." This critically acclaimed movie delves into the disturbing nature of capital punishment, examining it through the journey of Piotr Balicki, a mild-mannered executioner in communist Poland. Kieślowski effectively portrays the internal struggles faced by those entrusted with taking lives and probes the complexities of life-or-death decisions.
