A24 Films has released The Zone of Interest movie for streaming online on various platforms, including Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video.
The film, which was released in theatres in December 2023 to much critical acclaim, is about Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss (played by Christian Friedel) and his wife Hedwig (played by Sandra Hüller), who attempt to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.
It recently won two BAFTA Awards for Outstanding British Film and Film Not in the English Language. It has notched up five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best International Feature Film and Best Director for Jonathan Glazer. The BBC has described it as “a masterpiece: a great film, and a great work of art.”
Glazer also doubles up as the film’s writer. His directing debut was 2000’s Sexy Beast and his other projects include 2004’s Birth and 2014’s Under the Skin (co-writer and director in both). Jim Wilson (Under the Skin, 2019’s Waves) is the producer along with Ewa Puszcyńska (Cold War, Quo Vadis, Aida?).
Glazer and Wilson took 10 years to make the film. “I don’t make that many films,” Glazer says. “When I do make one, I tend to be very, very dedicated to that project until it’s finished. There’s never any overlap for me.”
The Zone of Interest is based on a novel of the same title by Martin Amis, the author of 14 novels. In 2008, The Times named him one of the 50 greatest writers since 1945.
