#490 - Jonathan Glazer, Sandra Hüller & Christian Friedel on The Zone of Interest
from Film at Lincoln Center Podcast · host Film at Lincoln Center
Director Jonathan Glazer, stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller, sound designer Johnnie Burn, and producer James Wilson joined us at NYFF61 to discuss sound design, physicality, and the morality of portraying the Holocaust in The Zone of Interest, a Main Slate selection in this year’s festival, with FLC Senior Director of Programming Florence Almozini. In his chilling, oblique study of evil, British director Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin) situates the viewer at the center of frighteningly familiar banality: the domestic routine of a Nazi Commandant, his wife, and their kids, while death and violence occur against those imprisoned in Auschwitz over the wall from their idyllic house. Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
