Kata Wéber is a Hungarian screenwriter, playwright and former actress who often works with her husband, director Kornél Mundruczó.
[2] When Mundruczó began working in film, Wéber joined him, writing for White God and Jupiter's Moon.
"[4] She was invited to write a play for the TR Warszawa in 2017,[5] which became Pieces of a Woman after Mundruczó read her notes about child loss and encouraged her to write about it,[6][7] which she says became like therapy[2] though she had initially resisted turning the "too personal" experience into a play.
[2] Mundruczó said Wéber's notes "were the most personal and the most beautiful writing by Kata [he] ever read".
[4][5] The couple also advocate for the arts in Hungary; after their alma mater was taken over by the government, they wore protest T-shirts at the 77th Venice International Film Festival, where Pieces of a Woman premiered.
