She won — and she’s done.
Agata Trzebuchowska, the star of the Oscar-winning Polish movie “Ida,” says she’s through with acting — but maybe not with the movie business.
“My foray into acting made me very happy, it was a great adventure with a fantastic ending,” she told the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper. “But acting is not something that greatly interests me. It's not my path. I have other interests, like maybe directing.”
Not that Trzebuchowska is planning to “dive into that right away.” |

Trzebuchowska, who spoke after returning home to Warsaw from the Academy Awards, had zero acting experience before director Pawel Pawlikowski cast her in the total role as a young wannabe nun who suddenly learns she is Jewish.
Discovered in a Warsaw cafe, Trzebuchowska agreed to do the movie because she was a fan of another Pawlikowski movie “My Summer of Love,” which helped turn actress Emily Blunt into a star.
“I had a feeling that this would be something remarkable,” she told Polish Radio before Sunday’s awards ceremony.
Trzebuchowska’s turn in the haunting post-Holocaust movie was widely praised and helped propel the film to Poland’s first-ever foreign movie Oscar.
