Grand gagnant de la course aux récompenses de l’année 2003, Le Pianiste de Roman Polanski méritait amplement sa palme d’or, ses trois oscars et ses sept césars. Adapté de l’autobiographie de Wladyslaw Szpilman, ce film empreint d’une grande dignité raconte la lutte pour sa survie d’un pianiste juif, en Pologne, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Polanski, lui-même juif, a attendu des années avant d’aborder ce sujet douloureux. Avec un classicisme tout en retenue, loin de la dramatisation excessive, le cinéaste au passé sulfureux tente ici d’exorciser des démons qui hantent le monde et sa vie depuis plus d’un demi-siècle. De la construction du ghetto de Varsovie à la libération de la ville par les Russes, Polanski nous fait vivre, de l’intérieur, l’incompréhension puis la terreur absolue de ce peuple persécuté.

Porté par l’interprétation subtile et émouvante d’Adrien Brody, en accord parfait avec la sobriété de la mise en scène et du propos, Le Pianiste offre des scènes finales bouleversantes, porteuses d’espoir. Un film qui, au-delà de l’horreur, a le mérite de laisser croire que l’humanité peut renaître de ses cendres. --Helen Faradji



Review

This powerful film by Roman Polanski tackles a subject matter and time that has been covered exhaustively in feature films, TV movies and documentaries, but The Pianist is another exceptional story that needed to be told. There have been plenty of dramas regarding the Warsaw Ghetto and the Jewish resistance, but less about the nearly complete destruction of Warsaw by the Nazis near the end of the war just as the Russians were closing in. The Pianist is mostly from the perspective of Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), who escapes the concentration camps by luck and is briefly involved in smuggling guns into the Warsaw Ghetto. He escapes the Ghetto with the help of the Polish resistance and spends the rest of the film struggling to survive, while watching the unfolding events in Warsaw as the city is torn to pieces by the Nazis. It is a harrowing and moving story and Szpilman is a completely sympathetic character who doesn't seem at first cut out to survive under such conditions. There are both good and bad Jews, Poles and Nazis in the story, though most of the Nazi characters with the exception of Captain Hosenfeld (Thomas Kretschmann) are monstrous. Aside from the relentless horrors that Szpilman witnesses, there are moments of great beauty in the film especially in the scenes where he plays piano. The cinematography by Pawel Edelman is fantastic. Beyond being a great film, The Pianist is a testament to the incredible struggle of the Polish people during World War II. ~ Adam Bregman, All Movie Guide

5.0étoiles sur 5 For shame, Jui 29 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Pianist (Widescreen) (DVD)
Even though barely deserving a rebuttal, some of the reviews here are so beyond asinine that I cannot restrain myself, particularly with regard to those reviewers who had the gall to call Mr. Szpilman a coward. Mr. Szpilman risked immediate death every time he helped to smuggle a weapon or ammunition into the ghetto. The ghetto uprising itself was essentially a suicide mission, and everyone involved probably knew that. So Mr. Szpilman was a coward because he wanted to live, then? How dare you. While I don't believe that any work of art should be above criticism no matter what its subject matter, I have not read a single negative review here that has any remotely intelligent criticism of this film whatsoever. They pretty much describe it as "boring" or "another Holocaust movie." Schmucks. One reviewer couldn't even remember the protagonist's name, yet had no shortage of would-be scathing things to say about the movie. Almost as absurd are the unfavorable comparisons to "Schindler's List." Yes, Oskar Schindler was a great man, but the very straightforward good vs. evil nature of the subject matter must have appealed to Steven Spielberg's very American sensibilities. "The Pianist," on the other hand, boldly treads a ground that is decidedly messier, morally less clear-cut, and I think that only a man like Roman Polanski, who understands the particular time and place where these events transpired, could have made this film. And Adrien Brody fully deserved the Academy Award for this performance. And, yes, he does spend a good deal of time searching like a "rat" for food. What do these buffoons think it means to survive in such an environment? Idiots. Anyhow, this film is a masterpiece, an artistic triumph of the highest rank. The naysayers have not been able to level a single legitimate criticism against it.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Treasure, Aoû 19 2008
Par Poetkitty (Victoria, British Columbia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but the word 'cowardly' grates on my nerves when describing the action or inaction of the central character. Unless one is in the same situation, how can we know how we'll react? It's unfathomable. We must remember that the persecution, confinement, and ultimate genocide of the Jews in Europe was a process that took many years. The Jews were systematically disenfranchised and dehumanized. Watching the mini-series Holocaust hits this truth home - and there is a scene in Holocaust near the end where the main character and his friend walk resignedly off to the gas chambers...We wonder how, we wonder how 2 armed soldiers could lead twenty men shambling to their deaths....We also wonder how Jews can serve the Nazis in positions of authority over their own people. People survive in different ways. People also, after years of dehumanization, realize the futility of their own actions. When the load becomes too heavy, even death can be a relief. Different people, different situations, different responses....

As far as the character in this movie, and his lack of resistance, we are omniscient observers. We know how long the war will last and how it will all turn out. We know how many Jews are ultimately slaughtered. We understand the motivation of the 3rd Reich. The character doesn't! But he is plucked out of that line and given a chance. He survives by waiting. How do we honestly know if we'd do anything different? One could say that his inaction makes him a hero because he must be warring within himself. The gentle artistic man faced with a world of unimaginable ugliness.

This movie is a treasure.

5.0étoiles sur 5 powerful wartime drama about one humble man and his music, Aoû 18 2007
Par falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
this is an absolutely brilliant movie set during World War 2.it stars
Adrian Brody as Jewish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman,whose only escape
from the wartime hell is playing the piano.the screenplay is written by
Ronald Harwood,based on the book by the real life Wladyslaw
Szpilman,and is directed by Roman Polanski.the movie is touching and
heartwarming,and also heartbreaking at times.it can be depressing,but
is is also an inspiration.one man survives hell through music.but more
than that that,others too are uplifted and have hope,all because of one
humble pianist.Brody is brilliant ,as always,inhabiting his
character,as he always does.i don't think he's made a bad movie yet.or
at least,he's always been great in every film,even if the film itself
isn't.in this case,though,the film is brilliant. and say what you want
about Polanski,he knows how to direct a movie(we won't count
"Rosemary's Baby").if this film doesn't have an impact on you,i'd be
surprised. 5/5
