New on Blu-ray: ADOPTION (1975) - Criterion Collection

New on Blu-ray: ADOPTION (1975) - Criterion Collection

Product Description: Trailblazing auteur Márta Mészáros gives aching expression to the experiences of women in 1970s Hungary in this sensitive and absorbing drama, which became the first film directed by a woman to win the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. Through intimate camera work, Adoption immerses the viewer in the worlds of two women, each searching for fulfillment: Kata (Katalin Berek), a middle-aged factory worker who wants to have a child with her married lover, and Anna (Gyöngyvér Vígh), a teenage ward of the state determined to emancipate herself in order to marry her boyfriend. The bond that forms between the two speaks powerfully to the social and political forces that shape women’s lives, as each navigates love, marriage, and motherhood in her quest for self-determination.
