The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp. There’s never been a film about the Holocaust quite like The Zone of Interest, which focuses on the perpetrators, not the victims, and holds disturbing relevance for today.
Dispassionately examining the ordinary existence of people complicit in horrific crimes, The Zone of Interest forces us to take a cold look at the mundanity behind an unforgivable brutality.
Nominated for 5 Oscars
51 wins & 157 nominations on the Festival/Awards Circuit
