"I wanted to avoid the artifice of cinema." A24 has revealed a behind-the-scenes featurette for The Zone of Interest, the Best Picture nominated Holocaust film from British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer. It premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival last year, and after opening in December, ended up with a total of five Oscar nominations – including Best Director and Best Sound. This film is about the Nazi commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his family who live inside a nice house located adjacent to this horrible concentration camp in Poland. It stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller as the couple, with Freya Kreutzkam, Max Beck, Imogen Kogge, Ralph Herforth. In this featurette, Glazer and his Polish Dp Łukasz Żal talk about filming this with cameras hidden in the house, and natural lighting, to make it as authentic and immersive as possible. Yes this is an outstanding film that deserves to be seen...

Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone Of Interest is arriving in cinemas imminently. You can see the final trailer for the film here.
While we expected nothing less, we’ve been hearing some interesting things about Jonathan Glazer’s soon-to-release holocaust drama, The Zone Of Interest.
Glazer’s last film, Under The Skin, was released almost a decade ago. Despite featuring a bona fide movie star in the form of Scarlett Johansson, the film was unconventional in almost every way. It famously was both booed and cheered at its Cannes debut, and we imagine that as something of a provocateur, Mr Glazer was probably delighted by that response.
Under The Skin was even made unconventionally, using hidden cameras and using people off the street who at some points didn’t even know they were ‘acting’ in a major A24 production. From what we’re hearing,The Zone Of Interest seems to...

"Thanks for your National Socialist hospitality." A24 has debuted a second official trailer for The Zone of Interest, the acclaimed new film from British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer. Opening in theaters soon this December, the film is appearing on lots of Top 10 lists this month. It originally premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and was expected to win the Palme d'Or, though it ended up winning the Grand Prix second place prize. Though initially adapted from Martin Amis' novel of the same name, the film has a different focus. It's about the Nazi commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his family who live in a nice home located adjacent to this horrible concentration camp in Poland. This stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller as husband & wife, Freya Kreutzkam, Max Beck, Imogen Kogge, and Ralph Herforth. A deeply unsettling film about the banality of evil, following this German family...

"Do not look away." A24 has revealed the first official trailer for The Zone of Interest, the acclaimed new film from British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer. This first premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and it was expected to win the Palme d'Or, though it ended up taking home the second place prize Grand Prix just behind Anatomy of a Fall. Though initially adapted from Martin Amis' novel of the same name, the film has a different focus. It's about the Nazi commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his family who live in a nice home just outside the walls of this horrible concentration camp during WWII. Starring Christian Friedel, Sandra Hüller, Freya Kreutzkam, Max Beck, Imogen Kogge, and Ralph Herforth. This is an intriguing first trailer, more of a teaser – setting the tone and giving everyone a glimpse of just how unsettling and fascinating this film is.

Dekanalog announced today its acquisition of Sabrina Mertens‘ dark, methodical drama Time of Moulting, which wowed audiences at Rotterdam, Fantasia, and Nightstream 2020.
“It started off innocent enough for Stephanie, a vibrant kid stuck living with an aloof father and a mean, bedridden mother, neither of whom let their daughter do anything outside of their quaint 1970s Germany household.
“Over ten lonely, isolated years, Stephanie’s mind gradually veers towards darker thoughts — and inevitably, troubling habits and actions. Impressively made as a film school project, Sabrina Mertens’ patient and chilling debut explores the ways in which innocence can turn into something sinister.”
The film, which also stars Freya Kreutzkam, and Bernd Wolf, is set for a Spring 2023 release in the U.S.
The deal was negotiated by George Schmalz of Dekanalog and Cinthya Calderon of Media Luna.

Young Stephanie (Zelda Espenschied) is utterly alone. It doesn’t matter that she lives with her parents (Freya Kreutzkam’s Mom and Bernd Wolf’s Reinhardt) because their physical presence pales in comparison to their emotional absence. And nothing will ever change. It can’t. Stephanie’s mother is too far lost in the past to think about the girl’s childhood when memories of her parents keep her forever longing for the childhood she herself wasn’t afforded. Stephanie’s father is conversely too busy living in the present to worry about anyone else as more than obstacles with which to combat on a personal road towards contentment. They both know it’s not a perfect home to raise a child in, but it’s all they can muster. They embrace stagnancy in lieu of happiness.
That doesn’t mean Stephanie wants out, though. Writer/director Sabrina Mertens understands...
