        Adoption 15 rating

        Celebrated as the first time a woman (or a Hungarian) director was awarded the Golden Bear at Berlin, Adoption is a powerful statement on female agency.

        Drama 1975 84 mins

        Director: Márta Mészáros

        Overview

        This is a film full of strong female faces – looking directly to camera, or each other. When Kata’s (Berek) married lover refuses her wish for a child, their apparently mutually cozy arrangement is shattered, but something else, more satisfying, starts to develop. This award-winning intergenerational story of female empowerment has its feet firmly on the ground, and compelling performances from Berek and Vígh (as teenager Anna) at the core.
