Géza Röhrig and Amitai Kedar in Son of Saul (László Nemes, 2015)

Cast: Géza Röhrig. Levente Molnár, Urs Rechn, Sándor Zsoter, Marcin Czernik, Uwe Lauer, Christian Hartin, Mihály Kormos, Amitai Kedar. Screenplay: László Nemes, Clara Royer. Cinematography: Mátyás Erdély. Production design: László Rajk. Film editing: Matthieu Taponier. Music: László Melis. 

Son of Saul begins with an out-of-focus figure walking across a field toward the camera until he finally comes into focus. This is Saul Ausländer (Géza Röhrig), a Sonderkommando -- a Jewish prisoner tasked with clean-up duties in a Nazi death camp. In a bravura sequence, the camera stays focused on Saul in near-closeup as it tracks what he is doing: helping herd naked people into the "showers" where they are gassed, rifling through their belongings that they have neatly hung up in an anteroom (they were, in a particularly sadistic stroke, told to remember the numbers of the hooks on which they hung their clothes and to hurry their showers because the promised soup is getting cold), then helping take the bodies (referred to by the Nazis as "die Stücke," or "pieces") to the crematorium, and scrubbing the floors in the gas chamber. It's a sequence made more horrifying by the fact that all of these events take place in the slightly out-of-focus background as the camera concentrates on Saul. But something out of the ordinary happens: A boy is found still alive in the gas chamber, and Saul recognizes him. He will later tell others that the boy is his son, from a liaison with a woman not his wife, which explains the unusual interest he takes in this particular victim: When the boy is sent to the doctors, he is smothered to death by an SS officer who then orders an autopsy to try to explain why he survived the gas. Saul, who witnesses this murder, persuades a sympathetic doctor to hold off on the autopsy and keep the body from being cremated. Saul's efforts to hide the body and to find a rabbi who can perform a ritual burial form the rest of the film's narrative. He is aided in his efforts but sometimes also resisted by other prisoners, who are plotting a rebellion against the guards. It's an extraordinarily harrowing film that won the foreign language film Oscar and numerous critics society awards. Remarkably, it's also writer-director László Nemes's first feature film, and Röhrig, on whom the camera is focused for virtually the entire time, had only a Hungarian TV miniseries made in 1989 as an acting credit. Like many films about the Holocaust it runs the risk of turning its subject into melodrama or of desensitizing the audience to the depicted horrors. It doesn't quite avoid the risk -- there are times when Saul's implacable determination tests our credulity, and there is always the awareness that these are "just actors" portraying things that happened to real people -- but it's an honorable contribution to a difficult genre.

Manta soll Revival bekommen Opel will bis 2024 jedes Modell als E-Auto anbieten 11.02.2022, 07:09 Uhr Der deutsche Autobauer Opel treibt seine E-Auto-Strategie voran: Bis 2024 soll jedes Modell auch in einer elektrischen Version angeboten werden. Nostalgiker werden sich dabei besonders über die Rückkehr eines Klassikers freuen - so soll der Ur-Manta von 1970 wieder über deutsche Straßen rollen - elektrisch. Der Autobauer Opel will in zwei Jahren jedes seiner Modelle als Elektroauto anbieten und in deutlich größere Reichweiten seiner Batteriefahrzeuge investieren. Kunden bekämen ab 2024 für jedes Opel-Modell ein elektrifiziertes Angebot, sagte Opel-Chef Uwe Hochgeschurtz der "Augsburger Allgemeinen". "Durch die von der Politik gesetzten Rahmenbedingungen ist jetzt in Europa klar, dass Verbrenner ein Ablaufdatum haben." Zumindest in Europa werde Opel ab 2028 keine Verbrenner mehr verkaufen. Der Hersteller will insbesondere die Reichweite und die Schnelligkeit beim Laden seiner Elektromodelle steigern. "Wir arbeiten daran, dass ein Opel in einer Minute für 32 Kilometer aufgeladen werden kann", sagte Hochgeschurtz. "Ich rechne damit, dass dies bei Opel Mitte des Jahrzehnts der Fall ist", kündigte er an. "Für die Zukunft peilen wir zudem - je nach Auto - Reichweiten von 500 bis 800 Kilometern an." Schon jetzt bevorzuge der Autobauer E-Autos bei der Produktion. "Wir liefern Elektroautos schneller als Verbrenner aus, bedienen also stromgetriebene Fahrzeuge vorrangig mit Chips", sagte Hochgeschurtz. Damit wolle Opel dazu beitragen, dass die Zahl der Elektroautos in Deutschland und Europa steige. Als ein besonderes Modell will der Rüsselsheimer Autobauer sein Kultmodell Manta über drei Jahrzehnte nach Produktionsaus als Elektromodell wieder auferstehen lassen. "Wir wollen den Manta Mitte dieses Jahrzehnts als reines Elektroauto wiederbeleben", kündigte der Opel-Chef an. "Es wird eine faszinierende Neuinterpretation mit einem sensationellen Platzangebot - natürlich deutlich größer als beim Ur-Manta von 1970." Opel ist die einzige deutsche Marke im Autokonzern Stellantis, der aus der Peugeot-Mutter PSA und Fiat-Chrysler entstanden war.
