With Ida, Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski didn’t only win the Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film in 2014, he also won the status of a standard-bearing director for a very special and unmistakable type of aesthetic, one which depicts, with both sheer force and sensibility, the image of a world that has been tainted by the traumas of war and dictatorship, yet still a world in which love and interhuman relationships are simmering with life and intensity, transcending the context of their specific era. A universe that is simultaneously realistic and charged with poetry.
