Director Roman Polanski won both an Oscar® and a BAFTA for this compelling film which is based on a true story. They were degraded, they were hoarded up, and they were sent to die. A brave few fought back, but one man would not be beaten, would not be taken, and would remain defiant. Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), a brilliant Polish pianist, a Jew, escapes deportation. Forced to live in the heart of the Warsaw ghetto, he shares the suffering, the humiliation and the … mehrstruggles, and manages to escape and hide in the ruins of the capital. weniger
