Description

This week, we discuss the movie Anthropoid, about the mission of the same name, set up to kill the evilest of evils, Reinhard Heydrich. Perhaps one of the only evils to get the ending he deserved. (Spoilers: It was slow and painful.)

Behind the Bastards episodes on Reinhard Heydrich

Yes, Heydrich was awful, but there’s something to be said for learning about evil men, just so we don’t become that evil ourselves. And Behind the Bastards have two cracking episodes about Reinhard Heydrich that we recommend you listen to.

Ep 87 – Son of Saul – Witnessing the Holocaust Through One Man’s Narrow World

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss Son of Saul (2015), László Nemes’ profoundly human film set inside Auschwitz. Told entirely through the tight perspective of a Jewish Sonderkommando prisoner named Saul, the film is entirely glamourless. We talk about how the narrow framing, blurred periphery, and overwhelming soundscape place you in a world where there’s no yesterday and no tomorrow, only the present.

Learn more about the Sonderkommando, the 1944 uprising and tell us what you think about this movie.
