THE PIANIST - How Polanski Depicts Survival (Film Analysis)
The Pianist is one of the most harrowing films about the Holocaust, particularly as it follows the story of a victim, as told by the real-life pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman and directed by Holocaust survivor Roman Polanski. In this video essay, we explore the elements that enabled Polanski to depict the horror and brutality of the Holocaust, while also showing enormous restraint and showcasing the human will to survive through such bleak circumstances.
