Sony Pictures Classics has released a second trailer for SON OF SAUL.

Director László Nemes’ film received a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nomination last week and is the front-runner to win the Academy Award on February 28th.

SON OF SAUL opens in St. Louis on January 29th.

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.
