Review: ‘Son of Saul’1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minute“˜Son of Saul’, the debut feature of Hungarian director Laszlo Nemes, is a claustrophobic, incisive feature that is disorienting, yet one of the most unique film experiences of recent years. It won the Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globes and is a contender for an Oscar in the same category as well.
Set in Auschwitz around October 1944, near the tail end of the war, “˜Son of Saul’ is told from the perspective of Saul Auslander (Geza Rohrig), a member of the Sonderkommandos, Jewish prisoners who assisted the Nazis in the extermination of other Jews. The Sonderkommandos were given a temporary extension on their own lives in return for leading other Jews into gas chambers and disposing of the bodies of the dead afterward.
