SILENT GRIEF Vanessa Kirby has won plaudits – and awards – for her performance in Pieces Of A Woman.
All movies are personal to directors, but Kornél Mundruczó’s (White God) English-language debut – the story of a woman losing a baby in childbirth and navigating the grief that follows – is profoundly personal to him. Written by his wife, Kata Wéber, after what Mundruczó describes as “an unborn baby experience”, Pieces Of A Woman began life as a play at Poland’s TR Warszawa theatre in 2018, before being adapted for the screen... a journey that was part of the healing process for the couple.
