The TVI Take
A Sonderkommando at Auschwitz tries to give a dead boy a proper Jewish burial. László Nemes's debut feature is formally extraordinary — the film is shot in 35mm with a shallow focus that keeps the Holocaust's worst atrocities in the blurred periphery.
Educational about the Sonderkommando's role and the specific mechanics of the death camps. Won the Foreign Language Film Oscar.
