Thread Name: Review: Polanski's 'The Pianist'
Subject: Review: Polanski's 'The Pianist'
To anyone who thought, as I did, that "Schindler's List" was a bit on the sentimental side, I recommend Roman Polanski's take on the Holocaust.
This true story is based on the autobiography of Polish pianist Waczlav Szpilman, who survived the Nazi occupation hiding in Warsaw, and died in 2000 at the age of 88.
A powerful film, and it has great music. Highly recommended!
