A worthy film that truly does justice to the experience of true horror, never fully seen or explained but deeply felt. When you leave the film you can say little upon immediate reflection, but everyone clearly felt a sense of awe (albeit mired in uneasiness) and silent contemplation at what they experienced. I had the good fortune of viewing this film at a festival with a number of other people. The most gut wrenching of moments are never fully in-focus and are always just off to the side or edge of the viewer's field of vision. This is likely by design to capture the devastating de-humanization of life in a concentration camp. You barely remember the faces of the individuals in the movie, but cannot shake the visceral and personal experience of the film. photo in a world that is awash in images, a torrent of sights and sounds. The film is oddly not really about the characters, despite the intense usage of POV or over shoulder camera work. Lszl Nemes acclaimed Holocaust film Son of Saul (2015) is based upon.
This film does not disappoint as a worthy addition.
Many excellent films have dealt with the heavy subject matter of Son of Saul.
The film is a journey into one of humanity's darkest hours.
