Writer-director Jonathan Glazer ‘has found a way to convey evil without ever depicting the horror itself,’ wrote The Associated Press’ Jocelyn Noveck in her review

The harrowing Holocaust drama “ The Zone of Interest,” which explores questions of complicity while depicting the mundane lives of a Nazi family in their home adjacent to the Auschwitz death camp, won the Academy Award for best international film.

Sandra Hüller, nominated for best actress for “Anatomy of a Fall,” plays Hedwig, the wife of Rudolf Höss , the bloodthirsty commandant of Auschwitz. The film was the United Kingdom’s submission to the Oscars. Glazer adapted the screenplay loosely from the 2014 Martin Amis novel of the same name, but chose to depict the real-life commandant. Aiming for a chilling meticulousness, the director pieced together the Höss family history and built the set for their home some 200 yards from where the real one once stood.
