A man's struggle for human decency in a living hell

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2019)

A Hungarian Sonderkommando (with only months to live because his class of worker knew too much about camp crimes) discovers the body of his son and must choose between a clandestine uprising and a proper Jewish burial for his son.
This Hungarian film is a grimly intense yet rewarding and unforgettable viewing experience set during World War II in a death camp. The storytelling mastery approximates a haunting sensory journey. The camerawork means the viewer immerses themselves in the horror observing at close hand the sickening conditions they had to endure. It is quite possibly the most harrowing film about the Holocaust because of the camera techniques used.
