Polanski At His Best October 10, 2007
Ballerina (Australia)
This has to be one of the very best Holocaust films ever made not just because of Polanski's talents but his sensibility as a Holocaust survivor. The film based on Wadyslaw Szpilman's life tells a story of the survival of the human spirit in extreme adversity and his encounter with a German Officer Wilhelm Hosenfeld who helped him in his hiding. Don't miss Disc 2 with the bonus material on the making of the film and the interviews with the cast and crew. Polanski sums it all up in his interview saying "... I saw the cast who was dressed up as the Nazi monsters in the movie-screening again as they actually are - they are Germans with earrings....charming, intelligent and delightful people and really nice people and that was a shock to me...and I come to the realisation that anyone is capable of anything, at a given time in history...The audience will walk away with the lasting emotion...and identify with the victims of that period and I hope that this film may somehow contribute to the efforts of those who don't want this type of scenario re-occur in the nearest future."
Hat off to a Master Film-Maker and the rest of the cast and crew. This is a brilliant and extraordinary film which earns the well deserved Oscars for Polanski (Best Director); Adrien Brody (Best Actor) and Ronald Harwood (Best adapted Screenplay) and watch out for the very fine performance of Thomas Kretschmann who plays the German officer.
