Ida

Ida (2014) is a Polish film directed by Paweł Pawlikowski. Winner of the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. A novice nun in 1960s Poland discovers a dark family secret before taking her vows, forcing a journey into her Jewish heritage and the country's wartime past.

Shot in stark black-and-white Academy ratio, every frame looks like a photograph. Quiet, devastating, and entirely sure of itself. One of the great European films of the 2010s.
