Son of Saul

Son of Saul is a movie that has been winning over audiences and critics and went on to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

The movie sees László Nemes in the director's chair as he makes his feature film directorial debut with the project. Nemes is best known for his short work with the likes of The Gentleman Takes His Leave and The Counterpart already under his belt.

There are just a couple of days to go until Son of Saul opens here in the UK and we have a trio of great new clips for you to take a look at:

Géza Röhrig takes on the title role of Saul Ausländer and is joined on the cast list by Levente Molnár, Urs Rechn, Jerzy Walczak, and Gergö Farkas.

October 1944, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Saul Ausländer is a Hungarian member of the Sonderkommando, the group of Jewish prisoners isolated from the camp and forced to assist the Nazis in the machinery of large-scale extermination.

While working in one of the crematoriums, Saul discovers the body of a boy he takes for his son. As the Sonderkommando plans a rebellion, Saul decides to carry out an impossible task: save the child's body from the flames, find a rabbi to recite the mourner's Kaddish and offer the boy a proper burial.

Son of Saul is one of the most acclaimed films of 2016 so far and is set to be an emotional and powerful watch this weekend.

Son of Saul is released 29th April.
