The Zone of Interest

'The Zone of Interest' tells the story of the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, who strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.

This Jonathan Glazer movie offers us a new glance of World War Two, the nazi Germany and the Holocaust. All the people who suffered the horror imposed by Hitler had been represented by multiple productions, but this movie shows us the everyday life of the soldiers who worked in these locations and who watched impassible how hundreds of people died every minute.

This project is situated in one of the darkest times of history, but from a different point of view that we haven't seen so often and we're not used to: from the captors perspective. Starred by Sandra Huller, Christian Friedel, Ralph Herforth, Medusa Knopf, Daniel Holzberg, Maximilian Beck, Sascha Maaz, Wolfgang Lampl and Johann Karthaus, among others.

A disturbing landscape based on the novel by Martin Armis, who offered perspectives from three people from the concentration camp: the commandant, the suboficial, and a sonderkommando. Glazer decides to only focus the story around the commandant and his family through general shots, almost all of them permanent, where the family house is shown as if it was being filmed through Big Brother cameras.
