Scenes where the glove box would not shut, what this was symbolizing, I could not figure out.<br />I guess you noticed the story similaries to Lars von Trier’s Breaking the Waves-which I remember is one of your favorite films.<br />I did see the character at the hospital similar to Weronika, but I haven't really talked about the music in my review, good call on Van Budenmeyer.

I understand why his wife is doing this yet I was more interested in the man who was just dealing with himself. I also loved the references to Van Budenmeyer that would become a key proponent of Kieslowski's later work including a character who would be similar to Weronika.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-29717343292565996352012-11-28T07:13:57.308-08:002012-11-28T07:13:57.308-08:00@Ruth: There is a timeless quality about The Decal...@Ruth: There is a timeless quality about The Decalogue, so well worth a look, and not really dated.

For me, this episode was over-simplified, his confidence being so bound to his sexuality. His job, circle of friends and leisure activities I think should have been looked at. If he found meaning other places in his life as well, as we all do, then it could have been even more ambiguous.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-41969093750623090342012-11-18T10:25:38.254-08:002012-11-18T10:25:38.254-08:00It's my least favorite entry as well.
