Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 – “Son of Saul” film screening
Sunday, 26th January 2025 - Monday, 27th January 2025
Showroom Cinema - Screen 3
Saul Ausländer is a member of the Sonderkommando, the Jewish prisoners forced to assist in the machinery of the Nazi concentration camps. While at work, he discovers the body of a boy he recognises as his son. As the Sonderkommando plan a rebellion, Saul vows to carry out an impossible task: to save the child’s body from the flames and to find a rabbi to recite the mourner’s Kaddish and offer the boy a proper burial.
Anchored by a riveting central performance from lead actor Géza Röhrig, Son of Saul is a moving and at times terrifying exploration of our capacity for varvarity and compassion. It is one of the boldest debuts in recent memory and is already hailed as a masterpiece of world cinema.
László Nemes’ unflinching Holocaust drama deservedly won both the BAFTA and Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Screenings Sunday 26th January at 12:00pm and Monday 27th January at 8:30pm.
