NTPL’s Film Society Presents: Dekalog Nine, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, Krzysztof Kieślowski
2025-11-21 13:00 - 15:00 | D A Jones Branch (Beeton), 42 Main St. W., Beeton, Ontario, L0G 1A0, Canada
Dekalog 9 follows Dr. Roman, a surgeon diagnosed with impotence, who encourages his wife Hanka to take a lover, but then becomes consumed by obsessive jealousy and starts spying on her, ultimately leading to a complex exploration of love, trust, and the destructive nature of suspicion. The story, loosely based on the commandment “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife”, examines the true meaning of a relationship and how a perceived lack of fulfillment can lead to self-destructive behavior.
From the Dekalog (1988), a series of ten short films set in a Warsaw tower block, each nominally based on one of the Ten Commandments, created for Polish television. It is now one of the most critically acclaimed film cycles of all time. Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski.
Robert O’Meara, former Humber College Professor of Film Studies, will guide us.

Join the Beeton Cookbook Club to test, taste and review recipes related to November’s theme: Food-on-a-stick.
Cookbook Club is not a cooking demonstration, but a chance for fellow foodies to share recipes, favourite cookbooks, and tips and tricks they have learned during their cooking experiences, all related to the month’s theme. It is low key, no pressure, and listeners are welcome too! We simply chat, learn, and have fun. Food contributions are welcome but not necessary; we share what we have.
As always, a small selection of theme-related cookbooks will be on hold for Cookbook Club members at the Beeton D.A. Jones Branch one month before each meeting date. Feel free to stop by, ask for the cookbooks at the desk, and check out any you like. Staff in the Alliston and Tottenham branches are more than happy to help you find related cookbooks in those branches as well; again just ask at the desk! Or, feel free of course to use your own recipes, family recipes, other cookbooks you have access to or recipes off the Internet.
