The Zone of Interest

Amazing filmmaking but tough watch. The epitome of “show don’t tell.” Most effective part was the contrast between the family’s ideal life scored by the distant sounds of the atrocities from the camp. Interesting choice of Nazi POV to humanize the situation

8.9 - harrowing & heavy watch not helped by its pace or runtime which really make you sit with what you’re witnessing. The details tell the story - the sound, the careful & casual dialogue, the way it’s filmed. A movie of show not tell, making it unique in a saturated subgenre.

Some of the greatest sound design ever put to film. Imagery is so immensely powerful yet never shows the atrocities first hand. The filmmaking is innovative and mesmerising. The way the screenplay conveys such emotion with hardly an actual plot is beyond impressive. Timely.

6.5/10

Mit realistisch inszenierten Bildern wird eine interessante Perspektive des KZ in Auschwitz gezeigt.

Spectacular and devastating
