Frank Film Club with Maisie Williams

The Zone of Interest: when the credits roll and the shame washes over you

Talking about Jonathan Glazer’s Auschwitz-set film The Zone of Interest this week was both really hard and in many ways very easy. Easy because it’s a masterclass in sound design and unusual cinematography choices. Obviously film students should be studying this for years to come. But this is no easy watch - it's a film that leaves you questioning humanity and resonates harder now than ever. We discuss the effect the film had on us, how Glazer pulled it off and the incredible reception its had.  The Zone of Interest (2023) was directed by Jonathan Glazer and stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller.
