The NewYorker article by David Denby on 2014's best movies said "Pawel Pawlikowski’s “Ida” is by far the best movie of the year." I remember having watched the trailer and wanting to see it, but had forgotten about it until I read that.
I found it on Amazon Prime (member view for free) and I'm writing this after watching only 22 minutes of its 1:45 running time. If you love photography or videography, and you have not yet seen it, you MUST watch this film. Each and every scene is a lesson in composition. It is in B&W and for that reason the lighting is also easier to see. It is also a fascinating story. I cannot recommend it highly enough, if only as a lesson in fine photography. I hope if you watch it you will share your impressions. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
