Fugue
It’s been almost three years since Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczynska captivated our attention with her mermaid horror musical The Lure, and we couldn’t be more ecstatic to see her back in the festival circuit. Her follow-up, Fugue, doesn’t reinvent mythical creatures, but instead dives into a woman’s psyche to address fear and identity. The visually eerie psychological drama confronts a person suffering from memory loss with all the roles she played before the condition’s onset. Her refusal to be a mother and a spouse begins to unravel long-forgotten secrets about who she is.
