Ida liked a longer title

Ida (2013)

Directed by Pawel Pwlikowski this film stars Agata Kulesza and Agata Trzebuchowska. In 1960s Poland a girl that grew up in a convent orphanage is sent to meet her aunt before she takes her vows to become a nun.

I really enjoyed the way this film explores the guilt of Polish history both during the second world war and the early years of communism. Rarely is the film explicit but it's gentle implications handle the subject matter excellently. There are good performances and some interesting framing of shots.


5/5
