Ida

Winning the best foreign movie Oscar is enough motivation to watch a movie, right?
Well that, and the movie being in black and white with a touch of WWII, are enough for me, though half way through the movie, I was expecting it to be another movie I wanted to watch some months ago.

Ida is a simple beautiful movie, about a young polish nun who in search of her dead parents, she meets her not so conservative aunt and realizes that she actually is Jewish. During the war, her parents were kept in the woods and fed by a guy, and at the end were killed by him. The girl and her aunt go on a journey to find the guy by asking from his son who refuses to help.

The movie is very smooth and well made, the acts are amazing and very believable. The conflict between the girl and her aunt's belief, the girl's innocence and how the connect. The movie has a very sad theme, specially that it is in black and white and in another language.

I would not recommend watching this movie if you are not into foreign films, since you will be bored.
I give a 6/10 to this movie
