Do not covet thy neighbours oxen (or whatever the material good specified in the commandment happens to be), in Kielowski's hands becomes a master work of human observation. The petty jealousies of two brothers are perfectly captured, in this wry Satirical film. Less unremitingly bleak than Three Colours White (the director's other attack on greed), Dekalog dziesiec gently exposes the folloy of human desires. The satire is more Jane Austin than Jonathan Swift, but remains laugh out loud funny.

It goes with out saying that the acting, photography, script, score, editing etc. are all stunning. The only question is why don't we get stuff like this on T.V. in the west?

The dark comedy subgenre, also known as black comedy, combines humor with elements of tragedy, morbidity, or darker themes. Dark comedies often explore serious or taboo subjects, such as death, crime, dysfunction, and societal issues, while infusing these topics with humor to create an unusual and often thought-provoking contrast. The humor in dark comedies is typically edgy, satirical, and often unsettling, challenging traditional comedic norms.
