Dir. Jeremy Podeswa, Canada/Germany, 2007, 106 mins, some subtitles
Stephen Dillane, Rade Serbedzija, Rosamund Pike, Ayelet Zurer
During the Second World War, a Greek scholar in Poland rescues an orphaned child and takes him to Greece and then to Canada. Based on the best-selling novel by award-winning writer Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces is a powerful, poetic and emotionally-charged drama about love, loss and liberation.
Jeremy Podeswas delicate, deliberate adaptation of Anne Michaels novel follows Jakobs heartrending progress from the darkness to the light. "You can choose to see what destroys something or what saves it, he is told. The beauty of this tender, haunting film is that it does both" Matt Glasby May 20th 2009
