Jonathan Glazer's 'The Zone of Interest': A Chilling and Profound Examination of Complicity in the Holocaust.

TL;DR Summary
Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest, based on Martin Amis' book, takes a unique perspective on the Holocaust by focusing on the lives of the Commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Hoss, his family, and those in denial of the atrocities happening on the other side of the wall. The film is violence-free but still harrowing and frightening, using a unique filming technique with 10 cameras in fixed positions. The production design and sound design are both marvels, and the performances by Christian Friedel and Sandra Huller are standout. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
