"The Pianist" Movie Trailer

"The Pianist" is the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew who detailed his survival during WWII. A celebrated composer and pianist, he played the last live music heard over Polish radio airwaves before Nazi artillery hit. During the brutal occupation, he eluded deportation and remained in the devastated Warsaw Ghetto. There he struggled to stay alive even when cast away from those he loved.
Review:
Adrien Brody is outstanding in this touching drama from director Roman Polanski. No wonder the critics are falling all over themselves to pile on the accolades.
