Son of saul film9/20/2023 "This is no redemptive story of survival." Indeed, strikingly, unlike these earlier attempts to depict the Holocaust, Nemes’ film is almost devoid of music - so much so that when it does occur, it feels noticeably alien and almost jarring, such as in the office of the SS, or the grotesquely upbeat tunes in the opening sequence, which sees new arrivals being moved towards the gas chambers. In this way, Nemes also avoids sentimentalising, or aestheticizing, the violence he represents - a charge sometimes levelled at films such as Schindler’s Listor The Pianist.
