October 1944, Auschwitz. Working in the crematorium, prisoner Saul discovers the corpse of a boy he believes to be his son. As rebellion looms, Saul chooses an impossible task: save the child’s body from the flames, find a rabbi and offer the boy a proper burial. This year’s Foreign Language Oscar winner, Son of Saul is “A remarkable refashioning of the Holocaust drama, both terrifying to watch and too gripping in its moment-to-moment to look away” (indieWire). D: László Nemes, Hungary, subtitled, 2015, 107m
