The Pianist

Based on the memoir of Polish-Jewish pianist Władysław Szpilman, the film follows his harrowing survival through the Nazi occupation and systematic destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. Separated from his family and stripped of everything, Szpilman endures years of hiding in bombed-out ruins, kept alive by his talent and the unlikely compassion of a German officer. A devastating and deeply personal account of human resilience and the redemptive power of art.
