Bazat pe memoriile pianistului W. Szpillmann, Pianistul este povestea adevărată a unui strălucit pianist polonez, care, datorită originii sale evreiești este forțat ca pe timpul ocupației naziste a Poloniei să ducă o viață de fugar, pentru a scăpa de deportare. Szpilmann reușește să fugă din ghetoul din Varșovia și își va petrece ani buni ascunzându-se printre ruinele orașului. Salvarea îi vine de la un ofițer german, care îl va ajuta să supraviețuiască. Filmul lui Roman Polanski prezintă o atmosferă apăsătoare și de neînchipuit a iadului nazist. Drama fiecărui personaj, suferințele la care sunt supuși oamenii simpli, decorurile răvășite de cruzimea naziștilor dezvăluie o poveste copleșitoare despre realitatea secolului al XX-lea. „Pianistul” este o capodoperă a cinematografiei ce rămâne tipărită în sufletele oamenilor prin secvențele încărcate de emoții, ce sugerează tragismul perioadei respective, precum și prin chinurile la care au fost supuși evreii din pricina regimului nazist.
