Showing Wednesday, March 23rd at 7:30 pm is this year’s Oscar Winner / Best Foreign Film, Son of Saul (Hungary). In this searing drama, a concentration camp inmate tasked with burning the dead discovers the body of his young son, and must choose between participating in the clandestine uprising being planned among the prisoners, or securing a proper Jewish burial for his child. Philidelphia Inquirer film critic Steven Rea calls Son of Saul, "A crushing view of humanity at its most desperate, and a view of one man's fevered efforts to find grace and dignity amid the horror." Son of Saul will open with a short introduction by Rabbi Ed Stafman of Congregation Beth Shalom. Rated R, the film runs 107 minutes.
