Winner of the prestigious Golden Palm award at the 2002 Cannes film festival, The Pianist is the film that Roman Polanski was born to direct. A childhood survivor of Nazi-occupied Poland, Polanski was uniquely suited to tell the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew and concert pianist (played by Adrien Brody) who witnessed the Nazi invasion of Warsaw, miraculously eluded the Nazi death camps, and survived throughout World War II by hiding among the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto. Unlike any previous dramatization of the Nazi holocaust, The Pianist steadfastly maintains its protagonist's singular point of view, allowing Polanski to create an intimate odyssey on an epic wartime scale, drawing a direct parallel between Szpilman's tenacious, primitive existence and the wholesale destruction of the city he refuses to abandon. Uncompromising in its physical and emotional authenticity, The Pianist strikes an ultimate note of hope and soulful purity. As with Schindler's List, it's one of the greatest films ever made about humanity's darkest chapter. --Jeff Shannon

I did have to return the HD/DVD for a different DVD, my mistake dont have HD. However, recieved a new DVD of the movie and of course it's a fabulous film, they should even show this movie in history classes.
Still havent gotten my refund yet, and its been about a month.
Rating: - Rare, but True Depiction of Polish Suffering. Good Poles, Jews, Germans & Bad as Well - PERIOD. Cada School/Library Should Have
Polish filmaker Polanski shows the truth in his movie. Polanski was born and raised in Poland. He had a Catholic parent and a Jewish parent. He was saved and raised by Polish-Catholics. He, like Wladislaw were there and saw for themselves what it was REALLY like, and showed it as such. Hollywood and those that never suffered write and tell a complete opposite and untrue tale discounting Polish suffering and help to Jews. Trust someone who was there, and not sensationalised lies and hatred. Poland ... Read More
Rating: - Polanski comes back with a masterpiece
I'm not sure if I've submitted a review on this film but here goes. After a series of disappointing films, director Roman Polanski came back with a vengeance with this personal tale of survival during the Holocaust. Winner of several Cesars and Oscars for Best Director & Best Actor (Adrian Brody), Polanski's dispassionate tone is just right for this film, never falling into sentimentality the way Spielberg did in "Schindler's List" (the only flaw in that Oscar winner) and Brody himself is consumatively ...

This movie is freaking awesome. The way the director presents you the material makes you feel like you are experiencing what the actors are. Recommend you buy it.
Rating: - Superb - must see
A few weeks ago, my daughter and I watched The Pianist by Roman Polanski, on DVD. This 2002 Polish-French-German-British production, is an Academy award-winning movie was based on the life of Polish-Jewish pianist Wadysaw Szpilman, a famous pianist who recorded with Polish radio at the beginning of World War II.
the movie is based on Szpilman's book that he comprised of the journals he kept during the war; Polanski hired Ronald Harwood to write the screenplay.
