6/23/2023 0 Comments Son of saul interviewWhile working in one of the crematoriums, Saul discovers the body of a boy he takes for his son. Taking place entirely in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp over a few days in October 1944, Son of Saul focuses on a Hungarian Jewish prisoner named Saul Ausländer (played by poet Géza Röhrig) who is a member of the Sonderkommando, a group of Jews isolated from the rest of the camp and forced to assist the Nazis in the machinery of large-scale extermination. There were several excellent films in contention for this year’s Best Foreign Language Academy Award, but I was thrilled when Hungarian director László Nemes’ haunting and unusual Son of Saul won the Oscar on Sunday night.
