The Pianist (2002) by Roman Polanski.
“I have a strong interest in the great directors’ latest -or last- films. Maybe it’s a little perverse: I may watch these movies with a different eye but if I name the films that moved me the most in the fifteen or twenty last years, there’s The Sacrifice by Tarkovski, The Dead by Huston and The Pianist by Polanski. I am often fascinated to see someone, who accomplished a great work, coming back on his past in his new films, with everything he learnt on or from his former films. Polanski does things he never did before in The Pianist, very strong things, very beautiful too. These are things that move me deeply, mainly in my relation with the director more in the film itself, in what it says about a person I spent time with, even from far away, for decades. It moves me more than a lone work, even a brilliant one.”
