Cinematography and ending remark.

Kieslowski himself wrote screenplays for his early films in a form of a novella, in several versions. Later during filming things were changed by KK or sometimes by the official censorship. I have the final screenplay versions of KK's early movies in polish(before his collaboration with Piesiewicz)or rather the closest versions to the released movies. A great read.

As in K's later movies, destinies of all his characters are connected. In the script for "Blind Chance" Vera's husband was a highly skilled aviation engineer/mechanic responsible for checking engines of the airliners. His father was a psychiatrist who worked at the facility for junkies and was stabbed with a fork by one of the rebellious drug addicts. After visiting his father in a hospital, Vera's husband went to the facility and beat up the attacker. Since he'd gotten into trouble for doing that someone less experienced did the check-up of the plane Witek boarded in story #3. The scene where Vera's husband has a conversation with his wife (after she told him straight to his face that she cheated on him) about punishing the guy who hurt his father, didn't make it to the final cut.

If you liked Blind Chance you should see Camera Buff(Amator). By KK's own admission it's his most personal film. One time he was a documentary filmmaker who chose not to submit his brilliant short "From a point of view of a night porter" to a film festival realizing his work would destroy the central character - a simple, primitive man who served as a case study of authoritarian thinking. After that experience Kieslowski turned into traditional movie-making with fictional characters to tell his "taken from life" stories.

As for the final scene, some might have considered it cynical at that time, as it implies that remaining neutral, or not politically involved in this case, and simply minding your own business might not be rewarded or even be punished because of the fickle nature of life.

That's a good point about the airline mechanic.

I agree that the cinematography is masterful. So much so that it comes through on the Criterion DVD on my big 4K TV. I was initially disappointed that it wasn't on Blu-ray, but they really got the most out of that 480p format!
