One of the best WWII movies, stunning picture quality and the 4K disc is REGION FREE!
We all know the movie. It's one of the best WWII movies made in the last 30 years, based on a true story. The picture quality is truly stunning on this release by Studio Canal, an amazing upgrade to every single Bluray release to date. The detail is next level. Good news, also, is that the 4K disc is REGION FREE and will play in all 4K players around the world. (Yes, 4K media is supposed to all be region free but occasionally some releases are region locked in violation of the Bluray Disc Association's official specs).

An excellent 4K transfer
The new 4K version of this film, is far superior in terms of image quality to all previous versions. The film itself, is a classic by Roman Polanski. It portrays the real life of a Polish Jewish pianist during the second world war and the nazi occupation of Poland. It shows the horrors endured by the Jews in Poland in the hands of the Nazis to a frightening degree. Near the end of the story a "good German" partially saves that image.Well performed by all the actors, well directed by Polanski, his is a sad but very worth while film to watch.

A very worthy transfer for such a hugely important film.
I was so pleased to be able to order the 4K UHD version of The Pianist at all and that I didn't require a region-free player was an added bonus. The outside vendor delivered it to me in very good time, the packaging was well protected and the disk played beautifully.This film is so important to me so I am delighted that it is among the very best transfers I have ever seen. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
