...understands all. In the best of the films, Decalogue, Six (Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery)--also released as the feature-length A Short Film About Love--a young man spies through a telescope on the sexually active stunner across the way. When she learns of his rank love, she is furious; to teach him a lesson she forces upon him the banquet of her sexual favors. Contact shames him; he runs home and slashes his wrists.
