  In the Convent
  Out & About
Movie Haiku:Lodz 1962: Novice (Trzebuchowska) in a Polish Convent is about to take her vows when the Mother Superior insists she visit her long-lost Aunt (Kulesza) who immediately informs her--of course--that she was born Jewish. We agree that the cinematography is exquisite & Trzebuchowska has a face made for the camera. After that we both really wonder if we actually saw the same film...?
