A deserved winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film “Son of Saul” takes a very innovative approach in telling a familiar and heartbreaking tale. This Holocaust drama from Hungary looks at the Sonderkommando — Jews kept alive and granted a sort of immunity to shepherd their fellows into the gas chambers, and then load the bodies into the crematorium or earthen pit. Their reprieve is temporary, though, as the Nazi regime makes sure to cycle them out every few months to eliminate evidence of their crimes against nature.
