The most acclaimed movie so far in this year's Competition at Cannes is this startling first-time film from a Hungarian director. It's about the Holocaust but, seriously, it's not like any other Holocaust movie you can think of -- which is a huge accomplishment. It's called
Son of Saul, and I think it's well on its way to getting one of the major prizes here. Still, I have a few small reservations, which I get into in my glowing review for
Paste.
