  1. My original plan was a double feature with the documentary, The Commandant's Shadow, about a son of the family fictionalized in The Zone of Interest talking with a survivor of Auschwitz, the death camp home they shared, and didn't.

    I decided to spare myself and will probably watch that today, instead, now that I've had time to process.

  2. I finally watched The Zone of Interest yesterday.

    Yes, my stomach dropped a few times but it wasn't due to anything explicit, but from my understanding of what was happening and not shown or said.

    We're shown glimpses of the aftermath of acts of horror, never the horrors themselves.

    And that is no less forceful knowing what we know.

    The sound design surprised me; like a low key version of Come and See.
