The life we enjoy.
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.

WTF? Are we supposed to be watching this "slice of life" about Nazis as if they are real people and not monsters? Kudos to the mother-in-law of the commandant for having the sense to leave that hell-hole. There are way too many incredible holocaust movies to waste time on this one.

Exceptionally disturbing, with an undertone of horror and dread that you cannot quite pinpoint. At every moment, this film indeed does draw your Zone of Interest away from who would typically be considered the main characters, to the background. Sometimes it is a background visual of the fence of Auschwitz, or a sound eminating from over that fence. But often it is so much more miniscule, items and actions that would usually be ignored - lipstick, for instance. The creators have done a truly moving job explaining the gut-punch feeling and disgust of the time period without being actually visually violent. Instead, they let your mind wander, which I find to be potentially more emotionally challenging.

Not particularly my type of movie, with it being more 'artsy' than anything else, but I can still acknowledge it as being good. It's miles better, even for someone like me with the aforementioned, than it probably has any right to be. It does, in my eyes, start off too slowly, though the longer it went on the more I could appreciate it - particularly from a filmmaking perspective. As you would expect with the subject matter, <em>'The Zone of Interest'</em> makes for uncomfortable but important viewing. Sandra Hüller has relatively little to work with, though still manages to put in a standout showing. I remember seeing her about during the award season when this movie was released, based on this I am expecting an even better performance in <em>'Anatomy of a Fall'</em> - gotta get that watched soon!

A subtle horrific historic narrative of the Holocaust.

The Zone of Interest takes the notion of the "banality of evil", back to its true origin, the family home. All human evil starts with a home. In this instance, the home of a concentration camp commander, Rudolf Höss, of Auschwitz and his family. The laid back ease of middle class family life, of an upper management level Nazi, is juxtaposed with suffering of people (Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, political dissidents, religious minorities and yes even some allied soldiers, who were prisoners of war), who quite literally reside, over the fence, in the concentration camp, Hoss oversees. This is a quietly horrifying film where the an idyllic and wholly familiar family setting is punctured, by the occasional sounds of misery and death, emanating from neighbouring death camp. Smoke stacks, burn human remains, that rise beyond the family fence line. In another compelling scene, a Hoss family riverside outing is disrupted by human ash, floating with the waters current. The Zone of Interest is not a demonstrably violent film. Violence is hinted at and as we can see, is psychologically and physically partitioned off, from the peaceful home life, of Hoss and his family. This is a compelling film but I did feel it overplayed its hand somewhat with discordant music and oddly dissonant night vision scenes, with a girl apparently trying to help the victims of the camps, by leaving food for them, at work sites, concealed next to their tools. In summary, a disturbingly influential film, that looks openly and honestly, at where evil resides.
