The Zone of Interest: A Haunting Holocaust Drama.

Jonathan Glazer's new film, The Zone of Interest, is a psychological drama set in Auschwitz that purposefully doesn't show the graphic terrors of the death camp. Instead, the film follows the daily life of commandant Rudolf Höss and his family through calm, quotidian wide shots, while the constant churn of the death camp is heard behind the walls. Glazer's formalist approach, cross-breeding narrative cinema and conceptual art, is unsettling and effective, making The Zone of Interest a psychologically searing film that borders on the unwatchable.
