What to know before buying

The 9 hours and 21 minutes runtime is the listed set runtime. The description separately characterizes the ten episodes as hour-long films and includes two longer theatrical versions, so it does not clarify the running time of each component. The listing identifies the series restoration as 4K but specifies Blu-ray media, not a 4K UHD edition.

Viewers interested in Kieślowski’s moral drama and interconnected character stories.
