The Pianist (2002)

Posted on 08:01 by uthpa
Cautiously Recommended
France/Germany/Poland/UK
Feature Film
Director: Roman Polanski
Writers: Ronald Harwood, Wladyslaw Szpilman
Cinematographer: Pawel Edelman
Composer: Wojciech Kilar
Cast: Adrien Brody, Thomas Kretschmann, Frank Finlay, Maureen Lipman, Emilia Fox, Ed Stoppard, Ed Stoppard, Julia Rayner, Jessica Kate Meyer

Despite some stunning scenes towards the end between Brody and Kretschmann, this incredible story of the eponymous musician Szpilman, chronicling his remarkable survival in Warsaw during the Second World War, is never really as affecting as it should be, suffering irrevocably from all the characters speaking English in silly accents rather than speaking Polish.
