One close look at this film will tell that there is always ample room for strong character portrayals in all of Kieslowski's films."Dekalog, Dwa" is a grim reminder of state controlled government institutions as it tackles a not so pleasant but touchy doctor-patient relationship. The entire film is a comment on how doctors should maintain their professional integrity when they deal with relatives of their patients who are anxious to know about the well being of their dear ones.Those who have appreciated Aleksander Bardini's role as a lawyer in Bez Konca (No End) will get a new chance to enjoy his acting abilities as he demonstrates how a simple hearted doctor can be coerced to extract information about a patient's well being.Looking at the role of a woman torn between her husband and her lover,played by Andrzej Wajda's protégée Krystyna Janda,it is hard to find how genuine is the love of such women for the men they claim to love ? Her character is depicted as a tormented soul who likes to get angry much too often.As usual Kieslowski has asked us too many moral questions whose answers are not so easy to guess.
