defense of the cinimatography


i heard about this movie by reading the tinymixtapes review. it focused on the artistic technique of the camerawork, and said it's what distinguished the film in its crowded genre. it was interesting how all the typical death camp atrocities happened in the blurry background. but some might say it's fascinating but gets old after 10 minutes of novelty.

"The Holocaust has, by now, been represented enough times on film that each new depiction demands justification more than the last. Academic scrutiny, warring thinkpieces, and critical deconstructions pit each new film on the subject against those that came before, demanding that this film achieves something that another one hasn’t done better." - http://www.tinymixtapes.com/film/son-saul
