The List_of_HIV-positive_people entry refers to Kieslowski as being HIV-positive. If true, this should be included.

It's not true. The only source for this appears to be the not very credible Hello magazine. It could be a misunderstanding from something Kieslowski said about communism. He said that fighting communism didn't make you immune against its influences. This was like doctors fighting against AIDS. They were not immune either. Denis Diderot 09:44, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Since the rumor has gotten around pretty widely, I think it would be appropriate for our article to mention it and explain how it got started, if Denis or someone can explain that more specifically. WP is a good place to debunk stuff that gets passed around without attribution on the Internet. Unfortunately, in this case WP has also helped to spread the rumor via the above-mentioned list. ←Hob 04:07, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)

Could someone please clarify the pronounciation? Many people are intimated by seven consecutive consonants! I heard a Polish interviewer on The Decalogue refer to him as "Keezhtaff Kizhlovski".--Adoniscik 16:38, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I speak about ten words of Polish, but as I understand it, for English speakers: rz is roughly equivalent to the sound of the "s" in "treasure" (think "zh"); sz is like "sh", and the accented s in Kieślowski is also like "sh"; and w is like "v". So, more or less, "Kzhishtoff Kyeshlovski". His first name is the equivalent of Christopher. ←Hob 03:31, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)

Listen to the pronunciation here --Denis Diderot 07:12, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What does the sylent man symbolise?

What do you think,what does the sylent man (Dekalogue) symbolise?

Not sure if you're serious with this question and if so, you probably figured the answer out by now, but regardless the silent man could represent God. Ten Commandments and all. Cheers. Igorrr 11:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IPA or sound file

A audio file or an IPA spelling would be helpful. however, if I'm not mistaken his name is pronounced (kzh-i-shtof kyesh-lov-skee)

Soundfile has been taken care of, I don't know anything about IPA. Fwend 21:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
