Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó, known for acclaimed films like “White God” and “Pieces of a Woman”, is set to direct a new family drama titled “At The Sea”, featuring six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams. The film, also unofficially known as “A tengernél”, will start shooting this June in the United States.
In “At The Sea”, Amy Adams portrays Laura, a woman returning to her family’s coastal retreat after a lengthy rehabilitation. As Laura reintegrates into the complicated life she left behind, she struggles with the loss of her career, reputation, and almost everything that once defined her identity.
The screenplay for the film is penned by Wéber Kata, Mundruczó’s creative partner and spouse, who has previously collaborated with him on projects like “White God”, “Jupiter’s Moon”, and the internationally recognized “Pieces of a Woman”. The production of “At The Sea” is scheduled to commence in Boston in June, with financing from AR Content, Paul J. Diaz, and Hammerstone Studios.
Amy Adams shared in an online interview that she was nearly cast in Mundruczó’s earlier film “Pieces of a Woman”, a role that eventually went to Vanessa Kirby and earned her an Oscar nomination. This new project marks a significant collaboration between Adams and Mundruczó, bringing together their distinct artistic energies.
