Tuner (Featuring Josh Bell)

About this episode

Josh Bell joins to discuss the genre-defying film Tuner and its thematic connections to other films.

On the 517th episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell joins me to talk about Tuner. This clever film about a piano tuner who learns to rob banks pretty much defies genre and is one of my favorites of the year. Puzzle pieces include Thief, Grand Piano, Emily The Criminal and The Conversation. As always, SPOILER ALERT for  Tuner  and the movies we discuss! Written by Daniel Roher Directed by Daniel Roher Starring Leo Woodall, Havan Rose Liu, Dustin Hoffman, Lior Raz Black Bear Josh Bell is a film critic whose reviews can be read at CBR, Crooked Marquee, The Inlander and elsewhere.
