Palme d'or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002 (and multi-awarded at festivals around the world), the pianist adapted from Szpilman's autobiographical story maintains many similarities with the itinerary of Roman Polanski.
Poignant and humanistic masterpiece
The Franco-Polish filmmaker himself survived the horror of the Shoah and lost his mother and grandmother deported to Auschwitz in 1943. Walk in Krakow, the documentary by Mateusz Kudla and Anna Kokoszka-Romer (unfortunately boycotted in theaters because of the controversies around the director), in which he recalls his childhood under the Nazi occupation alongside his friend the photographer Ryszard Horowitz, also resonates with this poignant and humanist masterpiece soon available from Studiocanal in 4K.
The Pianist will be released on September 27 as a 4K Blu-Ray/Blu-ray combo in 1.85 aspect ratio.
