The display features photographs depicting some of the key events in Kieślowski’s career.

The choice of the venue for the show is symbolic because the Saint-Lazare station served as the location for one of the director’s most successful films, The Double Life of Veronique, which was shot in the French capital in 1990.

Kieślowski, who died in 1996 at the age of 54, was among leading European filmmakers.

He achieved worldwide critical acclaim and success for his Decalogue series of 10 films and The Three Colours trilogy, apart from The Double Life of Veronique.
