Fugitive Pieces

Fugitive Pieces
"Image, like identity, is always coming into focus throughout Fugitive Pieces," writes Ed Gonzalez in Slant. "Conventionally shot but artfully cut, Jeremy Podeswa''s film, based on a novel by Anne Michaels, toggles back and forth in time, honing in on the nervous psychological headspace of its main character, Jakob Beer, who escapes from the clutches of the Nazis during WWII with the help of a Greek gentleman and grows up to become a great writer."

In the New York Times, Jeannette Catsoulis finds Podeswa "disinclined to dawdle, juggling three decades and as a number of countries with a sure hand and an eye for candy".
