The Decalogue AKA Dekalog AKA Dekalog: The Ten Commandments
Polish made-for-TV film released in 1988 known for its egregious length, glacial pacing, and the maniacal fervor of its disciples ¹. Taking place entirely in a brutalist Polish public housing complex, the series is based somewhat indecipherably on the ten commandments as revealed to Moses at Mount Sinai³. Dekalog is often grouped Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Wehd am Draht as a notable (if aggressively abstract) commercial television series.

¹ Including the Catholic church - in 1995 Dekalog was included on "The Vatican List" (a compendium of the 45 greatest films ever made) alongside Tarkovsky 's ( |occult classic) The Sacrifice and 2001: A Space Odyssey².

²Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick dubbed Dekalog "the only extant masterpiece committed to film".

³ Written by the finger of God on two stone tablets now stored in the Ark of the Covenant, as pursued by Harrison Ford in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark .
