A Symphony.

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2019)

A harrowing, devastating story of the miraculous survival of a Jewish pianist during the holocaust. Like Schindler's List, The Pianist accurately documents the horrors of the holocaust to such an extent that it exists less like a work of art, and more like a public service. Films like this help us never to forget and never to repeat this awful moment in human history. Classroom viewings are mandatory. Not to mention, a world class performance by Adrian Brody. He is immersed in this role. To see him wandering through the rubble of Warsaw, looking for any last morsel of food to eat is a stroke of acting and cinema genius that you won't believe even when you see it. This is what dedication to storytelling is all about.
