Inside the death machine


Son of Saul (2015)

Directed by Laszlo Nemes this film stars Geza Rohrig, Levente Molnar and Urs Rechn. A man working as a Sonderkommando in a death camp in WW2 tries to organise a funeral for a boy.

Going into this film I wondered how cinema could have anything more to offer on a subject like the Holocaust that has been covered so often but this film is depressingly fresh. Both the camera work and the story take you inside the process of extermination in a way no film has before. The story is depressing, touching, human and totally bleak.

5/5
