Martin Scorsese Named Executive Producer On ‘Pieces Of A Woman’ Starring Vanessa Kirby & Shia LaBeouf

Over a year after Adèle Haenel and Noémie Merlant loosed each other’s corsets and fell in love in a French Cannes film, and less than a week before Saoirse Ronan and Kate Winslet are due to do the same in coastal England at TIFF, Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby play American, mid-19th century secret lesbian lovers in Mona Fastvold‘s Venice competition title “The World to Come,” a beautiful and quiet, seasons-spanning tale of poetry and pining pioneerwomen.

Filmmaker Kornél Mundruczó is no stranger to the film festival circuit, with his 2005 film “Johanna” screening at the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, before “White God” took home the Prize Un Certain Regard later in 2014. “White God” was even selected to be Hungary’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 87th Academy Awards.

Much of that is due to the towering and heartbreaking performance by Kirby (best known for playing Princess Anne on the TV series “The Crown”), who makes Martha’s debilitating pain visible even when she’s trying desperately to hide it.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticOne can imagine an American director such as Norman Jewison or Sidney Lumet directing a film about the legal battle at the heart of “Pieces of a Woman”: A terrible tragedy has occurred, and an expectant young Boston couple (played by Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeouf) have taken their midwife (Molly Parker) to court. The media are all over the story, which casts the entire practice of home birth into question.

After the heavy-duty drama of Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman”, Robert De Niro’s upcoming project finds the Oscar-winning actor detouring into comedy.

Robert De Niro, bless his soul, he’s a national treasure and his career go something like this: De Niro does occasional prestige projects with people like Martin Scorsese and then most of the other time these days, he does movies like “Last Vegas” where he teams with other veterans/old-timer actors like Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas in broad comedies.

Clayton Davis Netflix has given a platform to various voices in the Hollywood industry such as Alfonso Cuarón (“Roma”), Dee Rees (“Mudbound”), and most recently Martin Scorsese (“The Irishman”), in which filmmakers get to bring their distinct visions to life with the autonomy they wouldn’t be afforded at a traditional studio.

Brady Corbet is a filmmaker that seems to always gain our attention whenever he prepares a new film for release. He has a knack for putting together a talented cast for a project that always sounds interesting on paper.
