Ida (2014) A movie that
brought back memories of Poland. When I visited, it was a beautiful country that was in the grip of significant
change.
Traveling in Poland in the
early '90s, every crossroads, street, park, and/or town would have a small monument
to the dead. There are so many of them
that it is not practical to see them all.
You have to understand 33%; or in human terms, 3 out of 10 Poles were
killed during WWII. This movie Ida (2014), brings an
incredible look at a small part of this suffering. Rarely to me has a film been so moving and visually
stunning.
Set in the backdrop of
communist Poland delves into a girl, and her aunts struggle to discover the truth about there family during the war. Without saying it is much more, just wait until you get to the stained
glass. For myself, it brought back rushing emotions of land that I once visited.
