Słowa, gesty a poznanie w filmowej interakcji. Casus "Dekalogu I" Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego (1988)

The paper concentrates on the verbal and nonverbal (mimics, gestures) aspects of human-human and human-computer communication, both of which are present in Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Decalogue I. In the first part of my text, I will make an extensive study of the scenes in the film, in which the director reflects on the crux of interpersonal communication (human-human): a conversation between the father and the son; a conversation between the boy and his aunt; the main character’s lecture on communication. In the second part, I will describe Kieślowski’s film which is a pioneering work as it creates statements about the new ways of interpersonal communication, connected with technicalization: a human-computer communication. Detailed analysis of the scenes: “the conversations” between the boy and his mother via the computer; spontaneous starting/start-up of the computer; mathematical “genius” of the machine. In the conclusions, I will mention the director’s reflections on the communication in the year of 1988, which are still up-to-date, as well as those that have outdated.
