Why Watch “The Zone of Interest”?
This isn’t just another Holocaust film. Director Jonathan Glazer brings a unique perspective to this dark chapter of history:

- Features stellar performances by Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller
- Nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture
- Winner of the Best International Film Oscar
- Tells the chilling story of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his family
The Story Behind the Film
The movie offers a haunting glimpse into the lives of the Höss family, who lived in an idyllic house right next to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Their story raises disturbing questions about human nature and our capacity for compartmentalization.
Producer James Wilson highlights the film’s unique perspective: “Rather than just ask how could ordinary people do such terrible things, it asks: How like them are we?”
Historical Significance
The film’s setting carries extra weight because it’s based on reality. The Höss family home still stands next to Auschwitz today, serving as a stark reminder of history’s darkest moments.
Director Glazer drew inspiration from this physical proximity, using it to explore themes of moral detachment and human compartmentalization.
