Polish capital Warsaw during Christmas as shown by Kieslowski and Polish actor Daniel Olbrychski, 20 August 2008

On umpteen occasions,Science has proved beyond doubt that loneliness is not only a psychological malady but also a perilous social ill. Loneliness of common people in a big city is aptly tackled by Polish cinéaste Kryzsztof Kieslowski.He conveys that during festive times people from all walks of life invariably need company as there is not much joy left in life if some people are forced to celebrate holy festival of Christmas alone at home.In "Dekalog,Trzy",Kieslowski has presented one of the most appropriate issues which has fatal consequences on family life.It is about infidelity.One can have a good look at Polish capital Warsaw at night during Christmas as a Taxi driver named Janusz decides to spend an eventful night with his former mistress Ewa.In this film Kieslowski launches a stern assault on government establishments of the erstwhile communist state of Poland. We are shown how cruelty of a government run institution disturbs ordinary citizens.Warsaw police is mocked too as it promptly comes looking for a stolen taxi without verifying whether the case is genuine or not.The film ends on a positive note when our protagonist decides to reform himself by being faithful to his wife.This brings a highly unusual Christmas night to a positive end.
