Libra Film’s most recent co-production, KATALIN VARGA by Peter Strickland, will have its French premiere on Oct 7th being distributed by Memento Films Distribution

In UK film will be distributed by Artificial Eye starting Oct 9th.

KATALIN VARGA was awarded at this year’s Berlinale with Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution. Film won also main award, New Talent Grand Prix, at the Copenhagen IFF. Main actress Hilda Peter got the Best Actress Award at this year’s Brussels IFF.

"Berlin's best film for me had no stars in it. Katalin Varga is a brilliantly atmospheric production about a peasant woman whose husband kicks her out when he discovers their 11-year-old son is not his but the result of a rape."

Nick James, SIGHT AND SOUND

"Out of nowhere, a late competition entry, Katalin Varga, surprised and impressed in more or less equal measure. By far the most impressive entry in the competition, it will hopefully receive its due reward from the jury."

Shane Danielsen, INDIEWIRE.COM

"The brooding, atmospheric feature uses its low-budget restraints to impressive effect and boasts an intense, contained performance by female lead Hilda Peter.

Péter is spellbinding in the lead, giving Katalin a mercurial, sometimes feral quality that keeps us guessing about her character throughout."

Jonathan Romney, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL

"Strickland shows a real flair for painting a picture of the region, and acting, by local theater actors, feels authentic throughout."
