Shallow grave

Saul fia (Son of Saul)

Crit
One definition of irony: risking everything (such as "everything" is) to bury your son in a place where even the living are dead, and where the surrounding earth wouldn't accommodate all the dead who are no longer breathing. An excruciating film whose horrors are mostly heard or intuited, not seen, but are none the less horrible for that. An almost certain and worthy winner of tonight's foreign-film Oscar.
Trailer
  • Mother's Day--Great cast, and while it looks to have the potential to be awful, it's more likely to be one of those middling gynocentric films that my New Year's resolution has me going to.
