There is no door to heaven - According to Jewish Catholic teachings, as believers of Jesus, Jews after death should ascend to heaven, but Jews who were massacred by the German Nazis died without a place, let alone find a priest for Jewish funerals ritual, so they go to heaven without a door. In the Nazi concentration camp, there was a special team called the contingent. They were composed of Jews and were the coolies of the German army. They cleaned the concentration camps, collected corpses, and even sent their Jewish compatriots into gas chambers and buried them in pits. In exchange for an extra week or even a month of life, the protagonist Thor is a member of the task force. When he saw a young Jew survive a gas chamber, but was then found by a German officer, strangled alive, and sent for an autopsy experiment, Saul decided to complete the ritual of heaven for the young compatriot in exchange for his own soul The consolation from the above... The film shooting method is pioneering and highly experimental. The lens is Sol's eyes. With the first vision, he accompanied the protagonist through the catastrophe. foreign language films. There are many movies about World War II, including Polanski's piano battle song, about the friendship between a Jewish pianist and a German officer, about life and death reading, about the love between a German female spy and a Jew, and there is no door to heaven. The team is a traitor to the Jews, but in the decision of life and death, being a traitor is really impatient, and can only do something for the dead compatriots. In the end, Saul was exposed by Jewish children during his escape and could not escape death, but he also saw hope for the continuation of the Jewish nation.

This kind of movie makes people feel heavy when watching it, but it’s very good.

#Cannes2015# As soon as the debut work enters the main competition, I still have a hand, with a bright style of lens language [background defocus, full-length facial close-up and long shots, a large number of horrifying sports shots] refreshing, but unfortunately in the powerful narrative With the double lack of motivation and emotional performance of the male protagonist, the freshness ebbs quickly. Follow the hero and the camera that has been on the side for a panoramic tour of the underworld-like concentration camp.
