The artist's 2009
film Evaders features the mighty Pyrenees, which formed the mute backdrop to philosopher Walter Benjamin's escape from the Nazis (his flight ended with his suicide in 1940, having been refused entry at the Spanish border), as well as the blurred view from the train to Auschwitz.
The
film gets some fine work from Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar, the ostrich racing tax
evader and Steve Toussaint as the knife wielding Seso, who owes his life to Amar.
