Opening tomorrow, in limited release, is “Fugitive Pieces.” The film was the opening night movie at last year’s Toronto Film Festival and it garnered Rade Sherbedgia the prize for Best Actor at the Rome Film Festival.

If you aren’t familiar with the film, “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. The film is based on the international bestselling novel by Anne Michaels and it’s been adapted & directed by Jeremy Podeswa.

Later tonight I’ll be posting video interviews with Rade Sherbedgia and Ayelet Zurer, but until then, take a look at 5 clips from the movie, a video featurette and the trailer.
