The Pianist

In this transformation of the life account “The Pianist: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man’s Survival in Warsaw, 1939-1945,” Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), a Polish Jewish radio broadcast musician, sees Warsaw change slowly as World War II starts. Szpilman is constrained into the Warsaw Ghetto, yet is subsequently isolated from his family during Operation Reinhard. From this time until the inhumane imprisonment detainees are delivered, Szpilman stows away in different areas among the vestiges of Warsaw.
