About this listen

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss Son of Saul (2015), László Nemes’ profoundly human film set inside Auschwitz. Told entirely through the tight perspective of a Jewish Sonderkommando prisoner named Saul, the film is entirely glamourless. We talk about how the narrow framing, blurred periphery, and overwhelming soundscape place you in a world where there's no yesterday and no tomorrow, only the present.

Learn more about the Sonderkommando, the 1944 uprising and tell us what you think about this movie.
