Ida

'Ida' is a poignant drama set in 1960s Poland, following Anna, a young novitiate about to take her religious vows. Before doing so, she uncovers a hidden family secret tied to the dark times of the German occupation during World War II. The film explores themes of faith, identity, and the haunting legacy of the past. Trivia: 1) The director, Paweł Pawlikowski, shot the film in black and white to reflect the era and underscore the stark emotional landscape of the story. 2) Agata Trzebuchowska, who played Anna, was a non-professional actress, chosen for her natural presence and authenticity. 3) The film was shot on location in Poland, notably avoiding locations changed by modern developments, to preserve the historical atmosphere authentically.
