About
(Agnieszka Smoczyńska, Poland, Sweden & Czech Republic, 2018, 102 min, in English & Polish with English subtitles)
Suffering from memory loss, Alicja rebuilds her life as she sees fit – with a free spirit, in spite of the troubling mystery of her identity. Two years later, she is reunited with the family her amnesia took her away from, unwillingly resuming her role as wife, mother and daughter. Her estranged husband and son struggle to reconcile this familiar but strangely behaved woman with the mother they once knew, and the entire family is cast into a hazy emotional blend of alienation, love, and distant, conflicted memory.
Fugue evokes social taboos around motherhood and the pressure on women to accept maternity without hesitation or reflection, as though the biological capacity of giving birth means that every woman should be willing to be a mother.
