László Nemes : 2015
Son of Saul
Two days in the life of Saul Ausländer, a Hungarian prisoner working as a member of the Sonderkommando, assigned to one of the Auschwitz crematoriums. After he comes across the body of a boy he believes to be his son, he attempts to do the impossible: snatch the body and find a rabbi to conduct a proper burial. Whilst the Sonderkommando could be disposed of at any moment, Saul turns his back on the surviving members and their plans for rebellion in order to save the remains of his boy, whom he failed to take care of whilst he was alive. László Nemes's feature debut was winner of the Grand Prix, as well as the FIPRESCI Prize when it premiered in competition at Festival de Cannes 2015.
