To portray Holocaust survivor and pianist Władysław Szpilman in The Pianist (2002), Adrien Brody went to extraordinary lengths. He sold his apartment and car, broke up with his girlfriend, moved to Europe, and lived in isolation without a phone. He lost over 13 kg (30 pounds) and learned to play Chopin on the piano. His commitment paid off — at just 29, he became the youngest actor to ever win an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Directed by Roman Polanski and based on a true story, The Pianist remains one of the most powerful World War II films ever made.
