We have seen many movies on Hitlers Death Camp but his movie takes us very close to the actual events that took place in one of those concentration Camp in Auschwitz. Gives live accounts of those tormenting events directly from the eyes of Protagonist captured entirely on a Running Cam giving us a feel as if we are traveling along with him throughout the entire run.
Our Protagonist Saul who is a prisoner working in that death camp is tasked with Burning the dead bodies recovered from Gas Chamber. One such day he accidentally comes across dead body of young boy who he later discovers to be his son. Though he couldn't able to prevent fate of his son, but as a father he wanted to give a proper burial in presence of Rabbi who is a priest. Though Saul knows he and his team could also be exterminated anytime by Germans , he tries hard to get the body of his beloved boy preventing it from being burned at crematorium. From then on movie accounts the difficulties and risks he goes through to get hold of Rabbi while portraying the horrific scenes that were happening at those camps. Did he manage to do what he wanted and what happened to Saul at the end fills remaining part of the story.
Whats more touching is mixing one's father emotions beautifully while
parallelly managing core story as if providing a live feed on those
death camp was its success. Though its very heart wrenching to see the
pain what many people suffered yet Saul keeps us on screen till the end
making us to watch without a blink. No Wonder it won Best Foreign
Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards and also Golden Globe award for
Best Foreign Language Film along with few others like 2015 Cannes Film
Festival winning Grand Prix. A horrific portrayal of hell on earth with a
tale to tell , Son and Saul both will live in our memories for a long
time. Dont miss it.
