The Zone of Interest is a completely unsettling experience as you witness a Nazi family make their home a paradise right outside the walls of Auschwitz. Adapted from a novel of the same name written by Martin Amis, this study of pure evil is a unique and heart wrenching take on the Holocaust as it painfully shows the willful ignorance of the Germans who sat by and pretended everything was normal. This film is certainly powerful, though it’s one that’s experimental enough that I’d imagine a short film of the same nature would prove more effect in terms of storytelling.
