you would think with all the buzz Sandra is getting from Anatomy of a Fall and the fact that this has a high chance of winning best international film at the Oscars A24 would capitalize on this with a wide release, but that would require them to make a good financial decision

Watching anatomy rn

Good hurry

yesbyes yES YES

This was alright, though didn't really land with me unfortunately. Sandra Huller's having a great year in performances though

Smh didn’t even realize she’s in this

Took me a minute to figure out it was her, until my mind pieced together she looked like a German Kirsten Dunst lmao

watched this last night. I wonder how the reception will be since all the critics hailing this as a masterpiece. sound design and score were off the charts. same with the cinematography

Well you tell us, was it a masterpiece?

Big Glazer fan. Very high hopes for this but ultimately was a big letdown. Good but just did not think it was the masterpiece people made it out to be. Honestly felt close to how Paul Schrader described it. Want to rewatch just because I think it deserves that, but was pretty disappointed.

What Paul Schrader say?

“ZONE OF INTEREST, seen at NYFF, is a great-ish movie. It's a textbook example of the distancing devices I described in the updated Transcendental Style in Film: static camera, no pans or tilts, planometric compositions, no overs, no foregrounding, center-punched compositions, flat lighting, no music, heightened sound effects, no closeups, long takes, expressionless acting. In TS and Slow Cinema these distancing devices are used to force the viewer to find the mystery under the surface. But in Zone of Interest there is no mystery under the surface. Under the surface (literally next door) is Auschwitz, a most familiar chapter in history and drama. In this case the viewer knows exactly what's under the surface, having seen and read hundreds of films, books, documentaries and photographs about the most famous of all concentration camps . A style designed to see the unknown is used for the opposite reason. The end result is more like a parlor trick than an exploration.”

Movie sounds boring as f*** respectfully

Should've been a short story

Seen niggas saying this the greatest film since parasite and EEAAO

So it definitely odes to the same transcendental styles of say certain Hanekes’ and Bressons’, which if you are familiar with and enjoy their work then there is a decent chance you will like this film. In fact, I did. I would still say it was a good film and Glazer has a mastery control and understanding of style and intent. He’s up there with the greats. What didn’t work for me was there is no endowment of a greater debate of seeing a perspective from the Nazis and their families and such. I felt the movie was building to it, and without spoiling, you get to the end and it’s so obvious. Like that is it? Okay yeah, we get it. The Holocaust was bad. Every reviewer has used the phrase “the banality of evil” in literally every press piece I have seen. Like sure, I get it, but isn’t this redundant? How and why did we use these arthouse concepts and executions to be so painfully obvious? I think of a film like The Piano Teacher and how it just gives you so much more to chew on by the end and a greater mystery of the narrative and character that it showed you. You have to do more work to contemplate on what you personally believe. It challenges you. This film just doesn’t do that. It’s about as middle of the road ethics as you can get without presenting an objection. That just didn’t work for me personally.

This is so specific, I love it

Comes to Atlanta next week

Is this not out wide yet?

This movie was fantastic.

Finally shows next Thursday went to Alamo today and going back again

best since Parasite and EEAAO?
