What a tremendous film. Go see it. Reminds you of the terrors of complicity and the bland sheen on evil that took place during the Holocaust, but also reminds you of suburban complicity next to genocide and apartheid happening today.
Jonathan Glazer cements his place as one of my favorite filmmakers.
Weirdly, I’m on a run lately of having visions of moments in films long before they happen. In Saltburn, I was musing in my head about what the main character did at the grave, and in the mansion. Here, early on, I thought about another film (The Act of Killing) and a comic book (From Hell) and both of those thoughts became action in The Zone of Interest.
I will think about this movie for a long time, and will definitely see it again.
