The Zone of Interest

Winner of 2 Academy Awards, including Best International Feature. Director Jonathan Glazer's film about the Holocaust dispassionately examines the ordinary existence of people complicit in horrific crimes, forcing us to take a cold look at the mundanity behind an unforgivable brutality. The film's sound, which also won an Oscar, delivers these offscreen terrors above the constant drone of the Auschwitz chimneys. "The scenario that Glazer creates and the performances of his lead players serve as a portal, challenging viewers to...grapple with the enduring truth that we’re all capable of knowing evil when we see it." -Anne Hornaday, The Washington Post
