  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.

  3. Sandra Hüller

    I watched two films this week with wonderful performances by German Actress Sandra Hüller.

    In Zone of Interest she plays Helga, wife of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss. In Anatomy of a Fall, a film written specifically for her, she plays a woman suspected of her husbands murder.

    “Meryl Streep says you have to love every character whether they are evil or not. I thought about that for a very long time, and while I love and adore Meryl and everything she’s done, I don’t think I agree. I didn’t love Hedwig Höss, and I never will.”

    She is certainly one to watch
