Synopsis

Son of Saul

WWII. Hungarian-Jewish Saul Ausländer is a prisoner at Auschwitz. He, along with several other men, are housed in a different part of the camp, as they are all given the work of knowingly corralling the other prisoners into the gas chambers, the prisoners who believe they are taking a shower and given food before they start work. Saul and these men's work also entails disinfecting the gas chamber after use, going through the personal possessions of the dead looking for any items of value, and disposing of the ashes after the bodies are burned.

It is after one of those gassings that Saul sees the body of who he believes is his illegitimate son. Out of circumstance, the Germans want to conduct an autopsy on the body. Without telling the Germans, Saul goes on a mission almost at any cost to prevent the autopsy from proceeding, and steal the body to give it a proper Jewish burial, which also means having a rabbi preside over the burial. To accomplish his mission, he will need the assistance of many of his fellow prisoners, which means telling them what he is doing.

It is then that Saul learns that some of the other worker prisoners are trying to smuggle information out to show the world of the atrocities of the camp, while smuggle in items that will help in an uprising against their captors. Saul may have some issues in dealing with the other men who may see their own task as more important and incompatible with his. But another issue may throw a wrench into what they are all doing when they realize that their own usefulness to their captors may soon be coming to an end, meaning their own lives.

Laura Green

1/10

Additionally, I found that the repetitive and monotonous nature of the soundtrack became distracting and even irritating at times. Instead of adding depth or layers to the narrative, the music seemed to loop in a way that took away from the overall impact of the film, making it challenging to stay fully immersed in the experience.

Melissa Adams

5/10

On the other hand, the lack of variety in the soundtrack can become repetitive and monotonous at times, potentially diminishing its emotional impact. While the somber tone of the music is appropriate for the themes of the movie, a bit more diversity in the compositions could have added depth and nuance to certain scenes, making the overall experience more engaging for the audience.

Steven Garcia

4/10

In my opinion, the soundtrack of Son of Saul felt disconnected from the emotional weight and intensity of the film. The music did not enhance or complement the harrowing scenes and struggles depicted on screen, which made it difficult for me to fully engage with the story.

Carol White
