It is told from the perspective of the family member left behind whlist his family went to the camps. We don't often hear the story told from that side and it was stunningly done. There is no way on this planet that Chicago was a better film.

Joe..forgetting any of the Polanski personal drama..was the director award not deserved? Also, the art direction was over looked at the awards. Even the usage of greys was wonderful.
It was a extraordinary film in all respects.

Spielberg's film was too Hollywood for me. I enjoyed it but The Pianist is a far superior film.

The Acadamy Awards lost all credibility when "Titanic" won Best Picture.
