The Zone of Interest breaks dangerous new ground in exploring the Holocaust
The Zone of Interest, the new film from Under the Skin director Jonathan Glazer, is one of 2023’s most difficult films. It’s also one of its best and most essential. The film seems implicitly obsessed with the question of what it really meant to be complicit in the worst crimes of the Nazi war machine. The effect, if you can stomach it, is a film that depicts the evils at the heart of the Holocaust as clearly and plainly as any movie ever has.
