Review of The Pianist (2002) by Amy C — 11 Mar 2011
The Pianist is gritty and devastating. Unlike most holocaust themed films, it strays away from the side of politics and focuses on the realism of living as a Jew during the atrocities of World War II.
Some intense visuals and underlying moral values makes The Pianist special. To appreciate the horrific beauty of some scenes is agonizing and amazing at the same time. I can't place my finger on it, but something about this impressed me greatly. A painfully beautiful soundtrack featuring pieces from Frédéric Chopin and Wojciech Kilar brings the feeling of the film into focus.
A bold film with a profound ending.
