The Zone of Interest

[Don Kolleone]

Neues von Jonathan Glazer.

The film is loosely based on author Martin Amis’ novel “The Zone Of Interest”, set in Auschwitz and named for the camp’s gas cham­bers. The book centers on a Nazi officer who finds himself falling for the wife of the camp’s commandant.

Glazer said that unlike previous Holocaust dramas like Schindler’s List (1993) and Son of Saul (2015), which examined the atrocities from the perspective of victims or perpetrators, his film sheds light on the those who stood by and watched the horrors unfold.
