Ida

Sara and I saw Pawel Pawlikowski’s film Ida last night.  This is one of the truly great ones.  Strangers in Film Forum had a spontaneous chat session about how excellent it was after the credits.  The cinematography is totally unique and extremely modern while still imbuing the film with a deep history.  The framing, above all, is stunning but the velvety black and white is the best I have seen in years. On top of that it is an incredible story and has a lovely and haunting young star named Agata Trzebuchowska.  You really should not miss this one in the theater.  Go Now!
