WARSAW - The award winning Polish film director, Krzysztof Kieslowski, died of a heart attack yesterday following a long illness, PAP news agency said.

Kieslowski, who was 54, won international recognition with his Three Colours trilogy about contemporary moral dilemmas.

The latest in the trilogy, Red, brought him an Oscar nomination in 1995. The trilogy explores in the modern context the three ideals of the French Revolution - liberty, equality and fraternity - symbolised by the blue, white and red French flag.
