IDA
The Polish film IDA was the big winner of the 2014 European Film Awards, winning Best European Film prize and People’s Choice Award 2014 for Best European Film; plus Best European Director for Paweł Pawlikowski, Best European Cinematographer-Prix CARLO DI PALMA and Best European Screenwriter. In IDA, Anna, an orphan raised in a convent, is preparing to take her vows when she’s sent to visit Wanda, her aunt and only living relative. A cynical, hard-drinking Communist Party judge, Wanda reveals that Anna’s real name is Ida and that her parents were Jews murdered during the Nazi occupation. So the two embark on an unusual journey through the wintry countryside to unearth their family’s dark history.
