The Zone of Interest
The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp. Blissfully ignorant towards the sound of gunshots and howls, and the sight of flames and ashes from next door, their seemingly peaceful domestic life appears to have nothing to do with evil.
Based on the novel by Martin Amis, the film by the director of Under the Skin delivers a chilling commentary on the banality of evil with riveting visual and sound design. Winner of the 76th Cannes Grand Prix and 3 awards of the BAFTA including Outstanding British Film and Best Film Not in The English Language, The Zone of Interest also garnered Best International Feature Film and Best Sound for the Academy Awards.
