What We're Watching: Laurie


The Pianist directed by Roman Polanski. Starring Adrien Brody.

Polanski
tells the story of a Polish Jew, Wladyslaw Szpilman (played by Brody),who is a wonderful concert pianist caught in Warsaw during the Nazi invasion of World War II. Szpilman stays in the war torn ruins of the Warsaw ghetto, fighting for survival, and loses his family as they are deported to the labor camps. This is a captivating story of courage, fear and trying to hold on to one's identity during a very hopeless time in world history. Rated R.
