REVIEW: Son of Saul, Grand Prix at Cannes

This year’s Grand Prix winner at Cannes is all but guaranteed to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Picture and ought to win.

Géza Röhrig is mesmerizing as Saul, a Hungarian Jew in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. He’s among the prisoners forced to help with the death camp’s exterminations while awaiting his own. Saul becomes suddenly desperate to obtain proper Jewish burial for a young boy he claims is his son. We follow him in near-close-up through nonstop efforts to achieve this seemingly impossible goal — keeping us as bound to his horrific reality as he is. THE WORD: This breathtaking, sensory-overloading film is likely the finest about the Holocaust you will ever see — and without question the most terrifyingly present and exciting. COMING TO: Theaters
