1939, Varsó. Wladyslaw Szpilman zongoraművész egy lemezstúdióban dolgozik, amikor bombázni kezdik a várost. A felvétel félbeszakad, Wladyslaw hazatér. Otthon zsidó szülei és testvérei megpróbálják eldönteni, mit vigyenek magukkal, ha a növekvő náci fenyegetés miatt menekülniük kell Varsóból. Wladyslaw nem akarja elhagyni a várost, mivel szereti, s legalább annyira rajong Dorotáért, a fiatal csellistáért. A nő nagyon aggódik a növekvő antiszemitizmus miatt. Családja nem sokkal azelőtt költözött be a fallal körülvett gettóba, és megpróbálnak alkalmazkodni az ottani élethez. A zsidó Itzak Heller kollaborál a nácikkal, és azt akarja, hogy Wladyslaw és Henryk csatlakozzon a zsidó rendőrséghez, de a fivérek visszautasítják az ajánlatot. Miközben megpróbálnak pénzt keresni, hogy eltartsák a családot, a körülmények egyre rosszabbra fordulnak. Mindenkit deportálnak, kivéve Wladyslawot, akit Itzak kirángat a sorból. Benek, annak az étteremnek a tulajdonosa, ahol korábban zongorázott, munkát ad Wladyslawnak, de a helyzete egyre rosszabbra fordul, a német tisztek és a katonák roppant gorombák vele. A zongorista a föld alatti mozgalomnál keres segítséget, amely különböző védett házakba bújtatja el őt, ahol nincs más dolga, mint kibámulni az ablakon. A varsói gettó 1943-as felkelését követően Wladyslaw megint önmaga lehet. Dorota és mások, többek között a német Wilm Hosenfeld százados segítségével a zongorista megpróbálkozik a túléléssel, amíg véget nem ér a háború. (Best Hollywood)

I don't want to be too pathetic, but more films like this! So that people won’t forget the horrors that were committed, the horrors that the human race is capable of committing against itself, so that something like that doesn't happen again. And Adrien Brody, he blew me away! I completely lived his role with him, he was absolutely riveting and I'm so glad he got the Oscar. Just like Polanski, whose family was murdered by the Nazis and he knew very well what he was talking about – something clearly evident in this beautiful, haunting work.

Another film that shows us, unaware viewers, that Jews had it very hard during WWII… Downplaying this topic is the last thing I want to do, but I really don’t need to see the hundredth film about the one and the same thing. The shallow parade of suffering by secondary characters, who show up, die or cry, only to be completely forgotten later by the script, can’t arouse any emotions in me. What’s a lot more impressive, though, is the almost post-apocalyptic survival storyline later in the film (if the entire film had that sharpness and atmosphere, it would be great!), but the events that follow it are very hard to believe. It’s very clear to me why The Pianist has received mostly positive responses (an untouchable premise and emotional blackmail can do a lot), but other than the fantastic performances, I don’t see anything I haven’t already seen elsewhere, and better…

The Pianist is Polanski's triumphant return to domestic cinema after 40 years. It’s a gripping story from Wladyslaw Szpilman’s autobiography. Adrien Brody in the lead role truly became Szpilman, creating his character as a flesh-and-blood man who must be put through all the atrocities of war. However, everything else in the film is up to par with Brody's performance - the production design is very realistic, the other actors also fit very well into the overall collage of images of the past and there is nothing that could spoil the unique portrait of a broken man born through the pain and injustice of war.

If Polanski hadn't indulged in almost autobiographical self-indulgence, it could have been a great film. But instead of focusing on the very strong story of the main character, the director inserted his own emotions and memories into his film, which don't have such power, although there was a lot of potential. Brody is scoring in astronomical numbers, but even that is not enough this time.

It's easy to recognize on the Pianist that the film was directed by someone who personally experienced the horrors of war and the Holocaust. It is an exceptionally powerful and authentic testimony of the fate of Jews during World War II. Unlike Spielberg's celebrated Schindler's List, it is not calculated and polished, which is reflected in slightly lower ratings. Unlike Spielberg, Polanski chooses the form of a chamber drama of a single man, however, it is an exceptional, touching, and excellently acted film. Overall impression: 100%.
