"A Short Film about Killing" is absolutely devastating. It exists in 2 forms: a shortened version that is one part of Kieślowski's 10-part Television series "Dekalog" and a longer standalone version.
I would also add the masterpieces he is most known for: "The Double Life of Veronique" and the trilogy, "Red", "White", and "Blue". Of these "White" is the most accessible, it stars a very young and luminous Julie Deply.

Second this! Also other early films by Kieślowski: Amateur, No End, A Short film about love, A short film about killing.
Kieslowski's "A Short Film About Killing" is also very powerful.
