The Rosa Goddard International Film Festival is an annual celebration of cinema classics, sponsored by local bookstore SQecial Media and presented at the historic Kentucky Theater.
Peter Schmidt once wrote in a letter to Brian Eno, “In a roomful of shouting people, the one who whispers becomes interesting.” He could have easily been describing this film, a riveting meditation on faith, culpability, and choice. A young nun and her aunt (Agata Trzebokowska and Agneta Kulesza) set out to unravel a family mystery in 1960s Poland in the aftermath of World War II. While thoroughly modern, Ida, filmed in black-and-white in now uncommon 4:3 aspect ratio, feels like a long-lost classic of Polish new wave cinema.
