"If I go there and find that there is no God"

The strong, capable, and dissolute aunt is in sharp contrast to the nun Ida, who is introverted, dull, and old-fashioned. On the outskirts of Poland, the two embark on a journey to find relatives, all of which are the bitter fruit of war. After the aunt found her son's corpse, the pain in her heart was ended, and she jumped out of the window without love. Before the last minute of the film, I thought I understood Ada's inner world, and the moment when she put on her nun's turban again, it might have been peaceful for her. For Ada's last indulgence, perhaps a sentence from my aunt in the film can explain: "If you go there, you will find that there is no God."

Subjective four stars. 4:3 format, black and white tones. The ultimate pursuit of composition, there is almost no camera movement in the whole film, which is a bit like Ozu, because movement will destroy the composition. In order to retain the beauty of the static composition without being monotonous, the director added a lot of dynamic elements to the composition frame, such as the muddy water splashed by the car driving through the depression on the road at the corner, or the interview with the peasant woman about the wind blowing on the drying rack. moving sheets.

Insulted and damaged Poland. After the Nazis and communism were cut off, secular happiness became more valuable. Quiet and calm, the lens promotes the narrative, which can become a model for film composition, but it is not necessary to be black and white.
