The book “I'm so-so…” is a collection of interviews, memories, and reflections by Krzysztof Kieślowski, the renowned Polish filmmaker and one of the most influential figures in contemporary European cinema. Known for works such as “The Three Colors Trilogy” and “Dekalog (The Decalogue)”, Kieślowski left a lasting mark on film history. This book offers a valuable opportunity to explore the artistic vision, personal experiences, and intellectual world of a filmmaker whose work consistently examined humanity, morality, choice, and the meaning of life.

Published in 1998, the collection includes interviews conducted with Kieślowski shortly before his unexpected death in 1996. In these conversations, the filmmaker speaks with remarkable honesty and openness about his professional journey, his years working in Polish cinema, the challenges of filmmaking, the relationship between art and reality, the responsibility of the artist, and the hidden concerns behind the creation of his films.

“I’m Not Bad…” is not merely a book about cinema; it is an intimate portrait of the mind and worldview of an artist who saw filmmaking as a means of exploring the fundamental questions of human existence. Through direct and unembellished reflections on his personal and professional experiences, the book presents a closer image of Kieślowski as a filmmaker who was always searching for a deeper understanding of humanity, life, death, and the meaning of choice.

This work is an essential read for those interested in cinema, art, and philosophy, offering a window into the world of one of the most important filmmakers of the twentieth century and providing deeper insight into Kieślowski’s humanistic and philosophical approach to filmmaking.
