The cycle's deft handling of moral ambiguity and inventive technique established Kieślowski as a major international director.\u003cbr\u003e Kieślowski once said, \"Both the deep believer and the habitual skeptic experience toothaches in exactly the same way.\" Of Elephants and Toothaches takes seriously the range of thought, from theological to skeptical, condensed in the cycle's quite human tales. Bringing together scholars of film, philosophy, literature, and several religions, the volume ranges from individual responsibility, to religion in modernity, to familial bonds, to human desire and material greed. It explores Kieślowski's cycle as it relentlessly solicits an ethical response that stimulates both inner disquiet and interpersonal dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580291871000,"sku":"9780823267101","price":61.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/of-elephants-and-toothaches-ethics-politics-and-religion-in-krzysztof-kieslowskis-decalogue-hardback-9780823267101","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
