The Pianist
After watching this film, it is hard to describe exactly how I'm feeling. At the end of the film I'm distraught, detached, I'm starved, parched, exhausted. I feel like I put all of myself just into watching it, into feeling it. It's almost as if I went on a journey the same as Wladyslaw and now every fibre of my being is completely spent. This is Polanski's finest film. I can't relay to you just how this film affected me. The cinematography is sublime, the dialogue fantastic and the performances are just flawless. Moving, breathtaking, potent, horrifying and ultimately crushing, watching this film was a strange experience that reaffirmed to me how film is a beautiful, valuable and affectatious art form. I've not experienced anything like it before. Hopefully I will again.
10/10.
