    I watched a good Polish noir film called Ida. Can anyone make any good noir recommendations that they have seen recently?

    Ida isn't a Noir. Do you mean black and white films? Noirs are typically crime dramas and aren't necessarily in black and white

    A good noir would be along the lines of "Chinatown" or something.

    The long goodbye with Elliott Gould is worth a look.

    If you enjoyed Ida, I would recommend exploring some of Robert Bresson's films.

    Ida is a wonderful film, and in some ways it reminded me of Bresson. As regards contemporary film makers; Michael Haneke's work might also be of interest to you.
