Brilliant film making. Brilliant performance.

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2003)

See the Holocaust through the eyes of a musician and be prepared to be awed. You can not watch Brody's performance without being moved to tears. Watch the scene where he plays for the Nazi officer. Be moved by Polanski's understated direction that will have that image burned in your memory for quite sometime. This film takes a single view of a monstrous event. And it is a view that has never been seen before. Yes there are some action moments, but it is how we see Brody deal with all that is happening around him. Including extraordinary moments of non-dialogue that will have you trying to catch your breath. Please see this film. 5 out of 5
