Without a doubt the best film I've seen in years

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2003)

This movie came along at a time when I think, the public needed to see a story like this, testimonies like 'The Pianist' always need to be told, but for a while, it seemed that people were getting fed up with these old holocaust stories especially when, post September 11, we had more recent events to worry about. It's a film made, among other things, to remind us that it's thanks to the un-sung heroes of the world that we're even here at all. Whether it's a person simply proving his will to survive, or a decent person in the enemy's uniform who has nothing left to lose.
Roman Polanski is one of the greatest directors who has ever lived and thank God he was able to make this masterpiece.
