“The Zone of Interest” Jonathan Glazer, Grand Prize winner at the Cannes Film Festival, is released on Wednesday January 31 in theaters in France. Filmed in the Auschwitz camp, the director achieves the feat of talking about the Holocaust without showing it, by filming the family life of Rudolf Höss, the commander of the camp.
A continuous soundtrack broadcasts the sounds of daily life in the camp: screams, dog barking, gunshots, orders, the blast of the crematorium ovens. The film was nominated five times for the Oscars.
