The short man


This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know how the vertically challenged man came to be in this film, and what became of him afterward? I believe the character was Wawrzyniec, played by Tadeusz Rzepka, who has no other film credits.

I guess we'll never know.. I've read Krzysztof Kieslowski's autobiography, Kieslowski on Kieslowski and there is nothing about him in it. I guess he was just a regular guy who Kieslowski came across with.

Thanks for the response. Like a lot of Kieslowski's subjects, he was probably a civilian who caught Kieslowski's eye and wound up in his films. Maybe he was a factory worker.

How is "Kieslowski on Kieslowski" anyway? Is it worth seeking out?
