95 MinsMia 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.
