Valerie Buhagiar on Ida
Release Date:
Actor and filmmaker Valerie Buhagiar, who broke out in Bruce McDonald’s Roadkill and Highway 61 and went on to direct her own features -- like The Anniversary, It’s Hard to Be Human and her latest, Carmen, which is now playing in theatres across Canada -- tackles the religious and emotional undercurrents of Pawel Pawlikowski's Oscar-winning 2013 drama Ida, which stars Agata Trzebuchowska as a novitiate in early-60s Poland whose life is changed when she learns the secrets of her own past ... and her country's. Your genial host Norm Wilner is always up for a little soul-searching.
