Jonathan Glazer\u2019s \u201cThe Zone of Interest\u201d begins with a family sitting by a stream, enjoying an idyllic day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We observe how the family is close-knit, lives in a beautiful home and, in a jarring reveal, that their house is right next to the Auschwitz death camps. We\u2019ve been watching the family of a highly-ranked Nazi and, when he walks out the door in his SS uniform, he\u2019s on his way to instill torture, misery and death to those inside the camp.<\/p>\n

We are in the presence of evil.<\/p>\n

Glazer films this with a watchful, painterly eye, as there\u2019s no ironic detachment, little music and very little plot. This is a clinical, observant and slow film, in which the audience gets to share space with a vile man, who we only see when he\u2019s off duty.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s played by Christian Friedel and his wife is played by Sandra Huller, both of whom find moments to demonstrate how inwardly vile they are without playing their roles as outright villains.<\/p>\n

As we watch the children play, the housekeepers clean up and the meals being prepared, we hear the distant pop of guns being fired and the smokestacks of the camp loosening into the sky. There\u2019s one brief moment where we hear but do not see what goes on in the camp.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, this is entirely outside of the death camps, as we only see the rise and practice of Nazism in either a boardroom or the interior of the domestic setting.<\/p>\n

"The Zone of Interest" star Christian Friedel on playing an evil Nazi: \u201cI hate Rudolf H\u00f6ss. I cannot say I understand his actions. But he was a human being, and all these characters were human beings, and I think it\u2019s important to tell these stories.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/Qqz8SlYIKE<\/a><\/p>\n
