The film will screen first in a handful of American cinemas, after which it will head to Netflix on 7 January.
Pieces of a Woman is the story of a young couple trying to process the loss of their baby, who died during childbirth at home. The lead roles include Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Ellen Burstyn and Molly Parker, with none other than Martin Scorsese as one of the movie’s producers.
The film performed well at the prestigious Venice Film Festival, where it received two awards: Vanessa Kirby won Best Actress, and a student jury judged Mundruczó’s work as the best film of this year’s productions.
