Cast | Sandra Hüller, Christian Friedel, Ralph Herforth, Freya Kreutzkam

Under the Skin director Jonathan Glazer returns with this dizzyingly sober study of the banality of evil, nominated for Best Picture, Best Directing and Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Oscars. 

Based on the 2014 Martin Amis novel, it sees Rudolf (Christian Friedel) and his wife Hedwig (Sandra Hüller) living a bucolic middle-class family life in Poland. But he is Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss, and their enviable home is right next to Auschwitz concentration camp, where thousands are being brutally murdered each day – an unspeakable suffering which the Höss family largely calmly ignores, and which remains chillingly out of view.

Enhanced by painstaking framing and sound design, The Zone of Interest forces us to inhabit the Hösses’ world and interrogate the human capacity for compartmentalisation and complicity in truly horrific crimes. 

“A masterpiece: a great film, and a great work of art” ★★★★★ BBC Film
