Son of saul movie poster7/26/2023 Son of Saul tells the story of Saul Ausländer (Géza Róhrig), a Hungarian member of the Sonderkommando, the group of Jewish prisoners who were temporarily spared their lives while at Auschwitz-Birkenau in exchange for running the Nazi crematoriums and concentration camps during World War II. Not only is the Hungarian language Son of Saul a much better film than anything you’ll see this weekend, it is one of the year’s best, having been showered with industry accolades from around the globe including the prestigious Grand Prix award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination. For those of you still grousing about getting shut out of this weekend’s Star Wars ticket buying mania, might we suggest some alternative programming to counter the raucous space opera madness currently taking over theaters.
