A man is in the hospital. His wife haunts the doctor. She wants to know if her husband will survive because she is pregnant with another man's child and if her husband lives she has to get rid of the child. Doctor tells her that her husband will die. She does not get rid of the baby and husband survives.
I think this was one of the slowest and meaningless film I saw in a long time. Plot looked good initially but it was stretched so much that I lost it after 15 minutes. Door opens, a lady comes out then she walks, then she stops, then she drops her cigarette, then she kills it, then she walks again. It all takes a minute. Thats the kind of intelligence you are dealing with here. In the name of art director kills a plant and then throws a bee in a glass filled with juice. Reminded me of cow set on fire scene from 'Andrei Rublev'. I don't know what this organization called 'censor' does. The story has got nothing to do with the commandment "don't take gods name for no reason". In my opinion commandment itself doesn't make sense. How can we forget the blunder God committed by creating this world and not think about him all the time? anyways thats besides the point. So if you are not a Russian and you think that 'Russian Ark' was a great film and 'Solaris' was fantastic art work you will find this mind blowing else keep away and do some laundry or house cleaning. Believe me that sucks but is still better than wasting your time on this flick.
My biggest problem with 'Dekalog' is that although everything is humane and looks very mundane but there is a miracle attached to the stories. Of course without a miracle there is no god. I think these films are based on superstitions and are absolutely medieval and outdated. Its sad to see people writing great stuff about these mindless-old-fashioned-preachy-stone-age stories i.e if you don't believe in god he will kill your son. Reminds me of a great thinker from Israel who said this during crusade "there are two types of people, one with brains and other with religion". These movies are obviously for the latter ones. Packaging is good but content is dated and is unhealthy. Keep away.
