Pieces
2007, 80 minutes
Three short vignettes cover romantic relationships in modern day London, UK – strained communication, missed opportunities, and the corrosive selfishness that eats one away from within.
With a healthy dose of restraint, the stories weave claustrophobically through the lives of 20-something Londoners as they finish school, pursue creature comforts, and eventually settle into their careers, all the while trying to maintain the illusion that they are doing right by those closest to them. The movie strives to capture what it was like to be young and in love (with yourself) in London at the beginning of the 21st century
