Description
The true story of pianist Władysław Szpilman's experiences in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation. When the Jews of the city find themselves forced into a ghetto, Szpilman finds work playing in a café; and when his family is deported in 1942, he stays behind, works for a while as a laborer, and eventually goes into hiding in the ruins of the war-torn city.
The film is very heavy, but it's worth watching.
It is worth noting separately that the director is Roman Polanski. This man knows firsthand the horror that Polish Jews had to go through. He put a part of his soul into this picture and it shows. Bravo!
