The Pianist

The Pianist - original screenplay by Ronald Harwood, Sopot, Poland. Film by Roman Polański (2002)

The shooting script by Ronald Harwood, Sopot, Poland.

A Polish-Jewish musician struggles to survive the II World War in Warsaw. The screenplay is based on an autobiographical book "The Pianist: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939-1945" by Władysław Szpilman. Roman Polański shooted this film in Poland (mostly in Warsaw) and in Germany. A wonderful story how music and passion can help to survive in horrible times. And a sad picture of the Polish capital after the Nazi-German occupation.


The Painist - shooting script written by Ronald Harwood, exhibited in Sopot, Poland
Szpilman was a radio station pianist and composer before the war. Forced into the ghetto, he managed to survive its destruction and find a save place among the ruins of Warsaw.  A ghetto survivor is also Roman Polański himself. Being a child he has been saved by a rural family close to Cracow in the south of Poland. Both Szpilman and Polański managed to survive the Holocaust.

DAU. Natasha - the most controversial film project at Berlinale 2020

DAU. Natasha - film works in Kharkiv, Ukraine - fot. Wikipedia.org   I have to confess I wasn’t aware of all the controversy the film DAU. Natasha had provoked when I decided to go for a screening of this film. The controversy had circled around the production of the DAU project - shot as 700 hours raw material from 2008 to 2011 on set in Kharkiv/Ukraine - as well as in particular the torture scene of the DAU.Natasha installment depicting a women forced to insert a bottle into her vagina. I’d dare to guess that Russian main regisseur  Ilya Khrzhanovsky deliberately choose to scandalize his DAU-films and its production on set as a kind of shock advertisement. Khrzhanovsky might have followed a trick often used by Vladimir Sorokin , the Russian playwright initially involved into his DAU project but parting soon over differences. However it was, let me write down, why I (dis)liked that film. DAU. Natasha - grandest cinematic experiment in Russia The ...

Ghost Mountaineer (Must Alpinist)

Must Alpininst - Ghost Mountaineer   How to get surprised by good films from distant places? The easiest way is asking locals for tips when you are there. This wasn’t possible this time, but a friend of us happened to be in Tallinn for few days. “There is a good DVD department, go there - Paul told   him after having written down his want-list. - And then ask the shop assistant what he/she would suggest in addition to that list”. “And you really will pay for that all, not knowing what he'll suggest?" - our friend asked puzzled. “Yes, don’t worry! - Paul said. This is how we got Ghost Mountaineer (Must Alpinist - in Estonian).  That film was an excellent choice. Thanks to that unknown shop assistant!  And to our friend! Film from Estonia about Siberia in the 80. The film starts with some brownish amateur pictures and a women voice from the off. First we were not sure whether it's a documentary or a feature film. It turned out to be a mix, with ...

EO - donkey film as Polish Oscar-candidate

  EO - donkey film as Polish Oscar-candidate Many of our friends have already recommended the latest film by Jerzy Skolimowski „EO” . As we have learnt that the Polish director had been inspired by a French movie from 1966 „Au hasard, Balthasar” , we decided to watch this picture first. It was a very depressing experience and we almost wanted to call off „EO”. But eventually we gave it a chance. When Paul was a boy one of his biggest questions was how the animals see our human world. Going to the cinema to watch „EO” he was hoping to get the answer. And indeed Skolimowski successed better than Robert Bresson . „EO” is based   a lot on colours and music. It tells a story of a donkey treeted badly in a Polish circus but loved by its caretaker Kasandra. With the help of animal activists it gets placed in a horse ranch and later in a child   therapie place. In road movie sequences it travels from Poland to Italy, where it is suppossed to end as …salami.   We we...
