    Photography is good, beauty is second, and more importantly, composition, and the design of camera positions can correspond to the plot. Boring, does not mean slow, no paragraph is redundant. Great jazz, looking forward to the cold...

    Can a person be separated from blood, family, country, and race to become a completely independent individual who has converted to his own beliefs? Ida's story is somewhat of Edith Stein's shadow, a complex proposition about Jews and Poland, Jews and Catholics. The meaningful form adds many angles of interpretation to the story. Ida, who is unable to control the picture, finally gets the follow-up gaze of the moving camera through her own choice, and the world is no longer a static cage for...

    1:1.33+ black and white. Finally got a taste of low-key performance, great! (Beijing Film Academy standard...

    Back at the monastery, Ida's laughs and tears were handled so well. The protagonist interprets what it means to be hard and noble. Photography is of course good, but whether different scenes in the same scene should be considered to keep the main screen at a similar height, otherwise the oblique movement of attention will often disrupt the calm...

    Almost everyone in the audience will praise the exquisite composition and soundtrack of the film, and the black and white photography is very charming. Ada’s struggle is due to the contradiction between identity and religious belief in a special period. After experiencing the roots journey with her aunt, she thought that the belief she insisted on would collapse suddenly, but at the end she stepped into the world to experience it. After passing through the prosperous world, one can still...

    This film actually requires a lot of background knowledge of the audience. The first and most basic thing is that Maria Magdalene is a Jewish prostitute, which is a necessary condition for understanding the arc of Ada, and the second is the anti-Jewish trend in Poland during World War II and the postwar period. The seizure of Jewish assets is a necessary condition for understanding Ada’s self-reconstruction, but if you still understand the leaders of Poland under socialism and the social...

    Four to three black and white is a style I like very much, but unexpectedly this film made me realize that such an overly prominent photography will affect the film itself. In the process of watching a movie, I often feel disturbed by the picture, and it is difficult to enter the plot. I always need to look for characters in the constantly changing visual focus. This is something that needs to be paid attention to in my creation in the...

    #TIFF13#It’s really fast enough to watch Polish films that talk about Tujue and socialism, but this one is really different. The 4:3 format is reminiscent of Bresson’s movies from time to time. Although I fell asleep, there must be 4 stars. Look for opportunities to make...

    #HKIFF# (1) 4:3 format, beautifully composed black-and-white movie, head-up angle, characters often appear in the lower part of the screen (so that there are several subtitles on the window frame in the middle of the screen) (2) The nun is looking for Past and identity-reflecting on the changes in history (3) Aunty jumped out of the window like going out, the scene of praise, as if it was a reversal of a saint/bitch (4) A growth movie in a...

    The composition is really high. But for a film with such a pattern, it is really hard to include all races, religions, and...

  • Wanda: Do you have sinful thoughts sometimes?

    Anna: Yes.

    Wanda: About carnal love?

    Anna: No.

    Wanda: That's a shame. You should try, otherwise what sort of sacrifice are these vows of yours?
