"The Zone of Interest: Redefining Holocaust Cinema with Negative Space"

TL;DR Summary
Director Jonathan Glazer's Oscar-nominated film, The Zone of Interest, takes a unique approach to portraying the horrors of Auschwitz by focusing on the mundane lives of the Nazi commandant Rudolph Höss and his family living next door to the concentration camp. Glazer used a reality TV-inspired technique with hidden cameras and a fly-on-the-wall approach to capture the family's everyday activities, juxtaposed with the atrocities happening just meters away. The film, which has received positive reviews, aims to shed light on the banality of evil and the inherent violence in human nature.
