One of the most harrowing and gut wrenching films to come out of this year's Cannes film festival was the holocaust drama, Son of Saul - Hungary’s official entry into the Best Foreign Language Film race. The movie which took Cannes by storm in May and won the Grand Prize was instantly picked up by Sony Pictures Classics and will be released in theatres on December 25th in order to qualify in all categories, not just the Foreign Film contest. It could be the rare subtitled movie to score multiple nominations including for director Laszlo Nemes, star Geza Rohrig and Cinematographer Matyas Erdely. The film, which also played at the Toronto International Film Festival is the World War II set-story of Saul Auslander, a Hungarian member of the Sonderkommando, the group of Jewish prisoners who were forced to assist the Nazis in carrying out their massive program of extermination. The filmmaker Laszlo Nemes and star Geza Rohrig (a non-professional actor who lives in New York and writes poetry) spoke with Bonnie Laufer Krebs
( @movi_boni) about the importance and delicate balance it took to bring this very dark holocaust tale to life on the screen.
