The Pianist
Took me nearly 20 years to be able to watch it, mainly because I never had the opportunity, and glad I did.
Brody is outstanding, well deserving of the Oscar he received. And I didn't realise, until the credits rolled, that it's a Polanski film. Plus, having been recently to Berlin and visited the Holocaust remembrance museum there, it reminded me of the film footage of Warsaw that we saw on that visit. The destruction was almost unbelievable, and that anyone could survive there was almost beyond belief. Testament to man's ability to survive and also the kindness and selflessness of the few who helped them.
10/10
Brilliant, gripping film that should be on the school curriculum imhoThe Pianist
