The Pianist

What a tremendous but horrendous film! I’ve never been so moved by a film before…

Anyone else seen it - want to comment?

The secret is to be very sharp when you enter a film like that. To not be overwhelmed, but to think around what you are seeing. It strengthened my conviction in the importance of politics.

To watch a man quietly waste away while surrounded by the ravages of war, with only his art to console him. That was beautiful!
