Music was his passion. Survival was his masterpiece. Roman Polanski's remarkable, Oscar and Palme D'Or winning film The Pianist tells the true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody). Managing to survive in the Krakow ghetto while the vast majority of the Jewish population have been transported to concentration camps, Szpilman leads a lonely, dangerous existence sheltering in abandoned houses. Directed by a film artist who lived through the times it depicts, Polanski's matter of fact storytelling style makes this one of the most haunting of Holocaust-themed films and it features an indelible central performance by the Academy Award's choice of Best Actor in 2003, Adrien Brody.
