    Ida

    This very good and beautiful film is set in a darkish period of the 1960's when a teenage girl discovers she was born a Jew. One has to understand the ramifications of such a discovery, one that very few comprehend nowadays. In most eyes, one might say: "what's the big deal? " Well. It is a very big deal as one learns pretty quickly. The film, gorgeously shot in black and white, takes us to the Poland of the Holocaust but also to the 60's Soviet dictatorship of the period. Ironically the film could never have been made in the period in which it is set for political and other reasons. This astonishing European film both about a past and present Europe reveals so much of human nature. It's a film that should be seen, but, alas, as with all great stories of humanity, only the intellectually curious made their way to see this little masterwork. It is still playing in a few locales including the Kingsway Cinema in Toronto so make the effort. You will be glad you did!
