Une belle réussite fait menant à une réflexion honnête sur un sujet face auquel on aurait pu croire que tout aavait déjà été dit.

Roman Polanski's "The Pianist" is the director's finest achievement, and elevates Adrien Brody (Oscar win for Best Actor 2002) to eminence in his representation of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew who survived the Nazi occupation of Warsaw.
New York Magazine/Vulture

It's Roman Polanski's strongest and most personally felt movie.
March 22, 2006
[I]t takes six or seven people to keep one half-dead Jew alive.... Wladyslaw's situation is extraordinary but what's happening on screen doesn't really feel so extraordinary. There's almost no emphasis, no point of view.
Newsweek

In going home to tell Szpilman's story Polanski seems reborn: once again he's become a filmmaker who matters.
Common Sense Media

True story of a Jewish pianist; OK for older kids.
February 09, 2006
Old-fashioned in both visual and narrative style and in its overall restraint, the film clearly benefits from the director's first-hand knowledge of the territory.
April 29, 2009
A film that rivals every one of the greatest Holocaust films ever made...
January 13, 2003
We admire this film for its harsh objectivity and refusal to seek our tears, our sympathies.

While the film itself may not live up to the advance hype, Brody exceeds expectations.
Orlando Sentinel
January 16, 2003
Brody is a sublimely haunting presence at the heart of The Pianist.
Miami Herald
January 10, 2003
Brody tracks Szpilman's descent from smug celebrity to feral, starving man with uncommon subtlety.
