Title: Ida
Review –Being back in Ohio for Tess’ wedding allowed for a quick post wedding trip to the local art house to see this magnificent off the wall movie set in Poland post WWII. We don’t get these movies up in the mountains. Dark, haunting, beautifully shot and acted- the story of a novice nun who is getting ready to take her vows at the convent she has spent her whole life in- and is forced by the mother superior to connect with her only living relative- a tortured soul aunt who holds the secrets to her past. A very complex and moving film that will leave you thinking for quite some time. Unrelenting, foreboding, haunting. May be hard to find this one- but worth the search.
