“Ida” – modest, brazenly consistent, universal, European
“Ida” is extremely clean artistically modest while brazenly consistent, ambiguous, acquiring in its simplicity of form and at the same time its sophistication, the adequacy of this form to the painful content, in which there are no easy answers. Very Poland by theme and style, referring to some of the Polish film school, but also to Bergman or Bresson. So also universal in Europe. Referring to the tradition, and at the same time very personal.
The film stirs controversy, however. Our journalist Bogdan Zalewski wrote on his blog: Styling cinema under communism is not only an aesthetic dimension. This is a kind of signal that it really PRL continues. Slightly changed accents, while all the time the struggle with Poland using clichés, stereotypes, exaggerations, lies vulgar word, dressed in beautiful costumes of the era. The director admitted that the prototype as a “bloody rubble Wanda” – aunt of the title character was a communist, Jewish zbrodniarka Helena Wolińska-Brus, one of the bloodiest morderczyń Polish patriots who really called Fajga Mindla Danielak. It’s cruel, vulgar, primitive monster escaped accountability in exile in Britain, and by the end of pluło on Poland and Poles. FULL ENTRY WILL FIND HERE
