SON OF SAUL TRAILER MOVIE

The camera lingers on SaulвЂ™s face as heвЂ™s forced to stand guard and listen to the violent thuds and cries of dying victims just on the other side of the wall, while his stony expression suggests heвЂ™s been through the harrowing procedure countless times before.Д«ut this time the outcome is even worse. Nemes confronts the sheer horror of that endeavor head-on: Whereas вЂњSchindlerвЂ™s ListвЂќ faced plenty of criticism for its sugarcoated scene in which prisoners are shepherded into a gas chamber only to be met with a shower, вЂњSon of SaulвЂќ offers no such respite.

SON OF SAUL TRAILER MOVIE

Before the movie begins, Saul has been assigned to the Sonderkommando, a work camp for prisoners responsible for cleaning up after various executions. He couldnвЂ™t have found a drearier situation to explore. ErdelyвЂ™s previous credits include the jittery thriller вЂњMiss Bala,вЂќ which involved Mexican crime lords, and вЂњSon of SaulвЂќ is similarly noteworthy for its capacity to root the material in a constant agitated state. HeвЂ™s aided in that feat by cinematographer Matyas ErdelyвЂ™s crisp 35mm cinematography, which contains the action in the boxed-in 4:3 Academy ratio, leading to the perception of being trapped in a hellacious underworld while never once straining credibility. NemesвЂ™ ability to inject the material of a concentration camp survival story - which, sadly, now carries the baggage of countless sentimental clichГ©s - with bracing cinematic energy is all the more impressive because itвЂ™s the writer-directorвЂ™s first feature. A remarkable refashioning of the Holocaust drama that reignites the setting with extraordinary immediacy, вЂњSon of SaulвЂќ is both terrifying to watch and too gripping to look away. The camera mostly stays right there, inches from SaulвЂ™s face, for the duration of this tense two hour experience. In the opening minutes, the physical chaos and shouts of desperation from Auschwitz-Birkenau surround Saul in soft focus, hinting at a terrifying bigger picture while keeping the action rooted in its main characterвЂ™s personal conundrum.

But Nemes lets those details steadily assemble rather than establishing them upfront. Slowly, itвЂ™s revealed that former locksmith Saul Auslander (Geza Rohrig) has been tasked with disposing of gas chamber victims, one of whom he believes to be his long-lost son. Pushed to his witвЂ™s end, our protagonist unearths the body of a young boy who he believes to be his wayward son, leading Saul to risk his life in order to secure a proper burial.In the first shot of Hungarian director LГЎszlГі NemesвЂ™ absorbing Holocaust thriller вЂњ Son of Saul,вЂќ the ill-fated protagonist stumbles into frame and arrives in an unflattering closeup, his grimy face and tattered prison camp clothes establishing an unseemly portrait. As aВ Sonderkommando prisoner, Saul is cruelly forced into assisting the Nazis by helping dispose the countless bodies of the dead. Placing a laser focus on the harrowing story of oneВ Saul AuslГ¤nder (GГ©za Rohrig), Son of Saul tells its story across a day and a half at the infamousВ AuschwitzВ concentration camp. At TIFF 2015, our own Sam WoolfВ championed NemesвЂ™ feature as вЂњone of the most revelatory, emotionally charged, and unforgettable films 2015 has had to offerвЂќ, and todayвЂ™s new trailer sheds light on just why the film has captured the imagination of critics and moviegoers alike. Shortly after its bow at Cannes Film Festival early last year,В Laszlo NemesвЂ™ directorial debut Son of Saul sparked a crackle of excitement across the four corners of the industry that has only continued to build and build with each passing festival.
