Nominated for the foreign language Oscar and winner of many international awards and wide acclaim, Son of Saul is the harrowing tale of Saul Ausländer, a Hungarian Jew and member of the Sonderkommando, the group of Jewish prisoners forced to assist the Nazis with large-scale extermination. Bold in story and form, Son of Saul is not your typical Holocaust film; it’s an unflinching cinematic experience inside a death camp, a tightly framed, closely shot tale that is the darkest sort of visual poetry—a graphic, intense, and deliberately unsettling treatment of the Final Solution. László Nemes’s film, which transpires over the course of a just a couple of days, follows Saul as he attempts to find a Rabbi to bury his son.
