    Good film though - those Egyptians are missing out.

    The scene where he plays piano for the Nazi officer was excellent.

    I don't care for the majority of Roman Polanski's films tbh, I missed this tonight and from the sounds of it - it seems I missed something good of his for once.

    They're probably still bitter about the whole 'Moses' thing, the "Let my people go!" rigmarole fresh in their memories...

    It's a truly awful film, you didn't miss a thing and I don't think the egyptians are missing much either.

    I thought it was pretty good. The main actor was excellent, the film really gave a feel of the atmosphere in those ghettoes during the war.
