“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.”

yes it was. but idk if I would want to watch it again. glazer does somethings with the medium that is really remarkable. but the material is just horrifying.

i peeped this yesterday and i must say this film has the most creative use of sound ive seen in recent history.
the choice jonathan made in letting the sounds of the terror outside of those walls tell the story instead of actually showing it was brilliant.

also did anybody else the ending was very similar to killers of the flower moon in that we are complicit in letting this story be entertainment to us?

This guy is a tremendous director, no insult intended at all - but this is the Best Picture nom with the lowest chances of winning in our lifetimes
