Ida is the tale of a novitiate about to take her vows who is sent out into the cruel world of postwar Poland to test her faith[?]. Visiting her worldly Aunt Wanda she discovers her heritage. The hypnotic B&W treatment of a severely damaged nation in the throws of a not so successful communism and a damp, dank winter illustrate the anxiety Ida feels on her journey to find out what happened to her parents. I saw this film sometime in 2013 and wonder how it qualifies to compete for this year's Foreign Language Oscar. It has a good chance of grabbing it.
