Agata the Writer

Agata (Mia Wasikowska) a disillusioned writer, arrives in Sarajevo to write a novel set during the Bosnian war. As she speaks with survivors, her project begins to unravel. In the house where she’s staying, obscene art objects begin to vanish, and the line between lived experience and fiction starts to dissolve.
Mia Wasikowska delivers a mesmerising performance in Kuba Dorabialski's striking feature debut. Agata, a disillusioned novelist, arrives in Sarajevo to research a novel set against the Bosnian War, only to find her motives challenged by those who lived through it. As she immerses herself in the city's grey beauty and layered history, the provocative artworks filling her guesthouse begin to vanish, unsettling her search for a story and blurring the boundaries between memory, fiction and lived experience. Atmospheric and formally adventurous, Agata the Writer gradually shifts beyond conventional narrative into an increasingly hypnotic and unexpected reflection on authorship, artistic responsibility and the stories we choose to tell.
