Abstract

The article discusses Jonathan Glazer's film *The Zone of Interest*, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and marks his first feature in a decade. The film explores the life of a Nazi family living near Auschwitz, focusing on their mundane daily activities juxtaposed against the horrors of the Holocaust. Centered on Rudolf Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz, and his wife Hedwig, the narrative highlights their obliviousness to the atrocities occurring just beyond their garden wall. Adapted from a novel by Martin Amis, the film employs a unique filmmaking style and a haunting score by Mica Levi, creating a chilling atmosphere that lingers with viewers long after the film ends.
