Mia Wasikowska fills out the screen in Kuba Dorabialski’s “Agata the Writer.” Metaphorically and figuratively, as one especially arresting sequence shows her in close-up looking directly at the audience and recounting the rest of the story.

“I was so curious about it,” she says.

“Luckily, when I’m doing something, I don’t think too much about how it’s going to be perceived. Kuba sent me some references, which I thought were really interesting, and it felt organic. But then, when I was watching the scene, I thought: ‘Ok. That’s enough of my face’!”
