Directed by Pawel Pawlikowski. 2013. Running time: 1 hour 22 minutes. Rated PG-13 In Polish with English subtitles. NYT Review <https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/02/movies/ida-about-an-excavation-of-truth-in-postwar-poland.html?smid=url-share> The winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards in 2014, *IDA* is a moving and intimate drama about a young novitiate nun in 1960's Poland who, on the verge of taking her vows, makes a shocking discovery about her past. 18-year old Anna (stunning newcomer Agata Trzebuchowska), a sheltered orphan raised in a convent, is preparing to become a nun when the Mother Superior insists she first visit her sole living relative. Naïve, innocent Anna soon finds herself in the presence of her aunt Wanda (Agata Kulesza), a worldly and cynical Communist Party insider, who shocks her with the declaration that her real name is Ida and her Jewish parents were murdered during the Nazi occupation. This revelation triggers a heart-wrenching journey into the countryside, to the family house and into the secrets of the repressed past, evoking the haunting legacy of the Holocaust and the realities of postwar Communism. Winner of an Oscar and a BAFTA award for Best Film Not in the English Language. Nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globes and the César Awards. *Some films may not be suitable for patrons under the age of 16.* eBook Help <https://lincolnpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/ebook-help-194/> *Friday, June 16, 2:00pm – 3:00pm* *Reference Room, Lincoln Public Library* Would you like to read or listen to library books on a phone or tablet?
