WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Set in Europe during the early days of the Cold War during the 1950s, a woman named Zula (Kulig) and a man named Wiktor (Kot), two people from very different backgrounds and temperaments, are fatefully mismatched yet are drawn ever closer to one another…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Pawel Pawlikowski, director of Ida, follows up his Oscar-winning film with a stunning throwback to old-fashioned noir romance movies of the 1950s, all with a swish and suave European feel to it.
