![]() ![]() ![]() The director, a newcomer called László Nemes, avoids any charge of exploitation in his vision of this human disposal operation. His Faustian task is to help with the extermination of fellow Jews and the clean-up operation afterwards, bringing him face to face with horrors we can only imagine, even if they are ones we can frequently half-see, and very graphically hear. This Best Foreign Film Oscar-winner starts as it means to continue – trained tight on a Hungarian-Jewish prisoner, Saul (Géza Röhrig), who has only been given a stay of execution because he’s a part of a Sonderkommando work unit. It’s set entirely, and with pitiless, unyielding intensity, inside Auschwitz-Birkenau. Son of Saul is one hell of a debut, with the emphasis on hell. Director: László Nemes. Starring: Géza Röhrig, Levente Molnár, Urs Rechn, Sándor Zsótér. 107 mins.
