Son Of Saul takes in Two days in the life of Saul Auslander (Géza Röhrig), Hungarian prisoner working as a member of the Sonderkommando at one of the Auschwitz Crematoriums who, to bury the corpse of a boy he takes for his son, tries to carry out his impossible deed: salvage the body and find a rabbi to bury it. While the Sonderkommando is to be liquidated at any moment, Saul turns away of the living and their plans of rebellion to save the remains of a son he never took care of when he was still alive.
Directed by László Nemes, who co-wrote it with Clara Royer, Son Of Saul also stars Levente Molnár, Urs Rechn, Todd Charmont and Jerzy Walczak, and is released in the UK on April 1st 2016 and this is a must-see.
