Me and my framework-narrative film fetish.



OK, I've satisfied my DVD box set addiction of the week and satisfied my framework-narrative fetish all in one purchase from Ebay, which I swore once upon a time that I would never use.

I just bought Kieslowski's 10-film set focusing on the Ten Commandments, "The Decalogue," and I got it for $35, rather than the $60 asking price. Split into 10 hourlong parts and set in an apartment complex (with only one unifying and ambiguous character), it's considered as a whole to be one of the greatest films ever made. I've never seen it. It was unavailable for years.

But now some guy in West Virginia is sending me the DVDs cheap. I love the Internet.
