Ida (2013)

A nun about to take her vows connects with her aunt, her last relative, and finds and lives new experiences.

A Polish drama that won the Oscar for foreign film on merit. Filmed with a 4:3 camera in black and white, which helps to strengthen the impression of intimacy and authenticity, Ida is a magnetic story about authentic purity and the traumas of life, historically placed in the post-World War II world. The two main characters are wonderfully portrayed by the two actresses, at very opposite poles, but in perfect harmony with each other, giving each other the necessary material to get closure for the current chapter of their lives and move on to the next without doubts.

Directed by: Pawel Pawlikowski
With: Agata Kulesza, Agata Trzebuchowska, Dawid Ogrodnik

Rating: 10/10
