The zone of Interest is a 2023 historical drama film written and directed by Jonathan Glazer, loosely based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis. The film focuses on the life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, who live with their family in a home next to the concentration camp.
The film premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where it received critical acclaim and won several awards, including the Grand Prix. It has a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its dispassionate examination of the mundanity behind the horrors of the Holocaust.
However, some reviews have been more mixed, with The New York Times calling it a "hollow, self-aggrandizing art-film exercise" that keeps the horrors of Auschwitz at an "oblique remove". The film has also been noted for its slow pace, which may challenge some viewers.
Despite the mixed reception, The Zone of Interest has been a box office success, grossing over $52 million worldwide. It has also been nominated for several awards, including five Oscars.
