"A Short Film about Killing" is absolutely devastating. It exists in 2 forms: a shortened version that is one part of Kieślowski's 10-part Television series "Dekalog" and a longer standalone version.

I would also add the masterpieces he is most known for: "The Double Life of Veronique" and the trilogy, "Red", "White", and "Blue". Of these "White" is the most accessible, it stars a very young and luminous Julie Deply.

All 10 pieces of Decalog (Dekalog) are worth watching. Kieslowski is one of the greatest film directors of all time.

The trilogy is currently in re-release to celebrate a new 4K transfer. If you live in a US city with an arthouse theater you might be able to catch it on the big screen.
