The Pianist (2002)
Movie
Released
Władysław Szpilman's changing hiding places make a city's occupation legible through shrinking room to move. Adrien Brody's physical withdrawal keeps survival distinct from heroic mastery. Adapted from Szpilman's memoir, the film gives a particular Jewish survivor's experience rather than a complete history of Warsaw or the Holocaust.

About The Pianist
The true story of pianist Władysław Szpilman's experiences in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation. When the Jews of the city find themselves forced into a ghetto, Szpilman finds work playing in a café; and when his family is deported in 1942, he stays behind, works for a while as a laborer, and eventually goes into hiding in the ruins of the war-torn city.
