Criminally overlooked film that packs an insane punch

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2016)

This film more than deserved it's win for Best Foreign Film, and I think it was much better than everything nominated for Best Picture. It's a film that uses short focal length and excellent tracking to trap us into the perspective of a Holocaust victim. Lazlo Nemes has proved himself as an expert with the technical aspects of filmmaking through fantastic sound and set design. Through all of these achievements, he gives us a heart-wrenching gut-punch that stayed with me to this day. He truly is one-of-a-kind, as there is no directing style even close to what he has done with Son Of Saul. I will definitely keep my eye out for what he can do next.
