When she learns that her birth parents were Jews who were killed during the Holocaust, she sets off on a journey of self-discovery. Review: ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING AND STUNNING ART FILM - Director and co-writer Pawel Pawlikowski has created a powerful yet simple film about chaos in a young woman's life. It's communist Poland in the bleak 1960's and Anna's life is about to be shaken to the core. Anna is an orphan who was raised in a convent. Her faith is strong and she is soon to take her vows as a nun. Mother Superior directs Anna to meet a mysterious aunt that she did not know existed. The seemingly cold and uncaring aunt tells Anna a family secret that will change Anna's life forever. Eventually, the two embark on a journey to the village where Anna was born to learn the fate of her parents. Destiny and fate are about to collide and neither Anna nor Wanda will ever see life in the same way again. Amazing and astonishing are words to describe this wonderful film. Agata Trzebuchoswka (Ida) had never acted before and was discovered in a café. She portrays Ida with a fascinating devotion and sympathy. IDA is filmed in black and white which automatically sets a stark mood in the dismal days of communist Poland. The camera is motionless until the last few scenes and the movement jars us into reality. The family secret is so overwhelming that it will change Ida forever. IDA is slow moving and the dialogue is amazingly sparse. It's Ida's saucer-shaped eyes that fill the screen as we try to decipher what she is thinking. Her Aunt Wanda played by another actress named Agata (Agata Kulesza) is another character to study. She seems cold and heartless having abandoned her orphaned niece. IDA doles out bits and pieces of information in small parcels so we can try to understand people's actions, especially Wanda's. Nothing in life is ever clearly black or white. It can be painstakingly slow at times and in the tradition of European art films, many things are left for the viewer to interpret. What path will Ida take? Will the dark family secret consume her? It's an fascinating study watching Ida experience the world she has never seen cloistered in a convent. IDA is not for everyone but if you appreciate a high-quality, thought-provoking delicious art film, IDA will overwhelm your senses. Review: with a brief historical perspective Ida is an amazing film that captures a snapshot of Poland in the ... - Spoiler alert, with a brief historical perspective Ida is an amazing film that captures a snapshot of Poland in the 1960s - a Poland that is still healing from the atrocities of World War II, while simultaneously still adjusting to Soviet rule. The movie subtlety highlights the religious tensions that existed in Soviet Poland between the Catholic faith and the Soviet government officials as depicted in the religious tension between Ida and her aunt through out much of the film. The film also highlights some of the social tension and existed in a post-World War II Poland. The film shows a family living in the home that once belonged to Ida's family. Ida's aunt makes it clear that the current tenants are illegitimate in the eyes of the government, when she reminds Feliks Skiba who owned the house and land previously and then forces her way into the home. Later in the film, the illegitimacy of the current occupants is further reiterated when Feliks tells Ida that he will show the women where their family is buried if they promise to give up claim to the house. This could be making reference to a German colonialization policy that occurred in Eastern Europe during World War II (Anne Applebaum, Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-1956, p. 118). Under this policy Jews were forcibly removed from their homes and replaced with members of the Germanic race or those loyal to Germany during the war (Anne Applebaum, Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-1956, p. 118). Although the act of dispossession that appears in the film does not seem to originate from a governmental source, the outcome is the same - Jews were forced out of their homes, and their homes were given over to either Germans or Poles, and then they most likely were murdered. This also highlights a poignant truth that everyday citizens to some degree were responsible for the mass killings of Jews whether that be an active role, such as the case of Feliks Skiba murdering Ida's family, or a passive role such as remaining silent and not intervening when the genocide was taking place. Overall this is a beautiful film that captures the cultural tensions, complex social situations that existed in Poland during the early 1960s. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00L0DKRCM | | Actors | Agata Kulesza, Agata Trzebuchowska, Dawid Ogrodnik, Jerzy Trela | | Aspect Ratio | 1.37:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,998 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,824 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,988) | | Director | Pawel Pawlikowski | | Item model number | Relay time: 80min | | MPAA rating | PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) | | Media Format | AC-3, Blu-ray, DTS Surround Sound, Dolby, Multiple Formats, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 5.92 ounces | | Release date | September 23, 2014 | | Run time | 1 hour and 20 minutes | | Studio | Music Box Films | | Subtitles: | English | ## Images ![Ida - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tFQhNl0YL.jpg) ![Ida - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-ww7yXJCL.jpg) ![Ida - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RIhNN9ePL.jpg) ![Ida - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71absddKJXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING AND STUNNING ART FILM *by J***C on January 21, 2016* Director and co-writer Pawel Pawlikowski has created a powerful yet simple film about chaos in a young woman's life.

I have a universal DVD player so I can play Region 1 or 2 or whatever else may be out there. The story is a compelling tale about postulant raised in a Roman Catholic convent as an orphan who is on the cusp of taking her final vows. Shortly before her marriage to Christ, the Mother Superior calls her into her office for a conference to inform her that she has been contacted by the girl's heretofore unknown aunt and Mother Superior strongly suggests that she visit the aunt before taking her final vows. The postulant discovers that her Aunt was born into a family of the Jewish faith and her deceased parents were murdered by a farmer shortly before the arrival of the Nazis who were destined to murder them. He took over their farm and claims it as his own. In exchange for the girl (Ida) and her aunt's promise to not dispute the ownership of the farm he promises to show them where he buried the family's bodies. The acting and filming are simply magnificent and the experience of watching it as the aunt & Ida arrive at their destinations are haunting. This film is a must see for anyone who appreciates great film-making. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/17617765-ida](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/17617765-ida) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
