Mundruczó is the Cannes Un Certain Regard winner for “White God” whohas flirted with mainstream Hollywood filmmaking before (at one point he was attached to direct horror thriller “Deeper” with Bradley Cooper from a script by, um, Max Landis). “Pieces of a Woman” seems like it could be something of a mainstream breakthrough (that cast!) while still staying true to his artistic integrity(the script is by his frequent collaborator Kata Wéber).
