Roman Polanski's 2002 masterpiece is less a war movie than a study of endurance. Adrien Brody delivers his Oscar-winning performance as Wtadystaw Szpilman, a Jewish pianist navigating the destruction of Warsaw through silence, chance, and willpower. Somber, restrained, and devastating, the film refuses melodrama in favor of truth. With Thomas Kretschmann and Maureen Lipman. Two-disc set. Region free.
