Based on Brody's Performance

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2003)

This was a fine film documenting the true life story of a famous musician played very well by Adrian Brody.
I have to admit though that when I first heard about this movie I rolled my eyes and cringed at the thought of "another Holocoust movie". Now this is not to dismiss or disrespect the inhumane acts of what was done in history, but its been done before. There was nothing new or original brought to this story and I am still baffled by the oscar win that Mr. Polanski didn't deserve. I think this movie was won more out of hype than anything.
I was however, very impressed with Mr. Brody's performance. To play such a deglamorized,humble, and vulnerable role. It was a naked performance, and I personally consider those the best kind.
