Fugitive Pieces

FUGITIVE PIECES, adapted & directed by Jeremy Podeswa (THE FIVE SENSES, INTO THE WEST, upcoming HBO mini-series THE PACIFIC) and produced by Robert Lantos (EASTERN PROMISES, BEING JULIA, SUNSHINE), was the opening night film at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival and garnered Rade Sherbedgia the prize for Best Actor at the Rome Film Festival.
A powerful and unforgettably lyrical film about love, loss and redemption, FUGITIVE PIECES tells the story of Jakob Beer (Stephen Dillane), a man whose life is transformed by his childhood experiences during WWII. As a child in Poland he is orphaned then saved by a compassionate Greek archeologist (Rade Sherbedgia.) Over the course of his life, he attempts to deal with the losses he has endured. Through his writing, and then through the discovery of true love, Jakob is ultimately freed from the legacy of his past.

FUGITIVE PIECES is based on the international bestselling novel by Anne Michaels. The film co-stars Rosamund Pike, Ayelet Zurer and Ed Stoppard.

Opens May 2nd. 104 minutes. In English. "R" for some sexuality

I can't say I loved the book...the metaphors really screwed me up at times. I do appreciate the messages that lie within many of those metaphors though. They are messages that everyone can relate to.

This trailer doesn't give the film justice.

The book/novel is influenced by different historical life-stories.

Anne Michaels worked for 9 years on that book, also because of socio-historical research.

The book is very specific and it feels to me like a real story...

Jakob Beer is for me a synonym for the real-life of many people.

I like the film too... but not replace the book!
