Alicja does not know how she lost her memory, but in two years, she has created a new, independent life for herself, and has turned her back on her unknown past. But her family finds her, and she is returned to a home she does not know to be a mother, daughter, and wife to people who are strangers to her.

The gutting question “Fugue” poses is whether any of us can ever go back to being who we once were.

A strange, emotionally intelligent and hugely sympathetic portrait of a woman in crisis, in Fugue Smoczyńska has solidified herself even further as one of the most visionary Polish filmmakers working today.

Like The Lure, Fugue is brilliant. Smoczynska...gives us complicated female characters who smirk, fuck, and f*ck sh*t up.

3/5

More a drama than a thriller, despite the nocturnal peregrinations of the protagonist, Smoczyńska’s sophomore film is a poignant take on the process of learning anew how to experience beauty and emotions in a rootless present.

A wonderfully surreal film that explores the pressures that are placed on women to live for others, rather than for themselves.
