The new film 'The Zone of Interest', a breath-stopping masterpiece directed by Jonathan Glazer, has been released in select theaters, drawing attention for its portrayal of the Holocaust through a modern perspective. The film, described as both immensely disturbing and an unforgettable Holocaust film, focuses on the life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his family, particularly highlighting the stark contrast between their seemingly normal life within the villa's confines and the horrific events taking place just beyond. Critics have lauded the film, with The Times giving it a five-star rating and calling it a 'landmark movie.' Production designer Chris Oddy was tasked with reimagining Höss' home for the film, which has been described as both harrowing and a necessary watch. After a decade of work on the project, Glazer has stated that the experience has profoundly affected him, and his next film will explore 'tenderness.' The chilling narrative of 'The Zone of Interest' has been noted for its depiction of the genocidal impact of the Höss family's life, showing life outside of Auschwitz as devastatingly normal and the broader implications of human capacity for evil.
