Ida, the film for October from Torbay Film Club

Come along Thursday 1st October at 7.30pm for IDA a Polish film from 2013.

Director Pawel Pawlikowski returns to his native Poland for the story of a young Jewish woman (first time actress, Agata Kulesza) who, on the verge of becoming a nun, accompanies her aunt on a more prosaic, but no less significant journey: to discover her parents’ fate during the Nazi occupation. The stage is set for a tale as bleak as a Warsaw winter, but beneath the icy surface, emotions run surprisingly deep, thanks to a captivating central performance of the less-is-more variety.

Pawlikowski has a photographer’s eye for composition, and every crisp, monochrome frame could be a postcard from Poland’s tragic, turbulent past. Empathetically written, spendidly acted and beautifully photographed.

If you have any queries please contact me.
