PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Kornél Mundruczo’, director of the film Pieces of a Woman.

After White God and Jupiter’s Moon, Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczo’ chooses a personal story for his english language debut film Pieces of a Woman, screening in competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival. With his wife and scriptwriter Kàta Weber, Mundruczo’ takes on screen the tragedy of losing a newborn child combining his personal experience with Kata Weber with the stories of so many women and couples trying to survive the painful tragedy of miscarriage or infant death. Vanessa Kirby and Shia LeBeouf are the protagonists facing this hard journey that focuses on a woman’s fight to grieve her own way.

Pieces of a Woman: Martha and Sean Carson are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife, who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother, along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. Pieces of a Woman is a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.
