(2002) is a historical war drama film directed by Roman Polanski and based on the autobiography of the same name by Władysław Szpilman, a Polish-Jewish pianist who survived the Holocaust in Warsaw.
The film stars Adrien Brody as Szpilman, and follows his life from the start of the German invasion of Poland in 1939 through his experiences in the Warsaw Ghetto and as a fugitive hiding in the ruins of the city.
The Pianist was critically acclaimed, winning the Palme d'Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and three Academy Awards, including Best Director for Polanski, Best Adapted Screenplay for Ronald Harwood, and Best Actor for Brody. It is considered one of the greatest films ever made about the Holocaust.
I found The Pianist to be of great emotional power, exposing both the depths of evil and goodness.
