    1. Just been to the cinema to see 'Zone of interest', the latest film by the brilliant Jonathan Glazer, whose Under the skin was my favourite film of 2013.
      Telling the story of Höss, kommandant of Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp, and the idyllic life he has with his children and horses in the house built next to the death camp. Much of the film concerns banal incidents, his socially ambitious wife showing guests around her house while Polish servants scurry out of her way.
      What is extraordinary however is the sound design of the film. Below the everyday chit chat are a low, endless and menacing drone, with screams, guard dogs, gun fire, trains arriving, yells in German a constant background of unspeakable horror.
      Höss comes across in the film like he came across in the book he wrote waiting for the hangman: caring for his own children while murdering other people's children daily in their thousands, uncaring and aloof…in his book he slags off all his fellow SS, doing them no favours in their upcoming trials.
      And extraordinary experience, one that echoes Hannah Arendt's description of Eichmann: the banality of evil.

    2. Did anyone see "Deutsches Haus" shown as "The Interpreter of Silence" on Hulu? It shows how several German families finally became aware of this particular part of their past as the result of the 1963 Frankfurt trials of various people who had been posted to Auschwitz but who had successfully reintegrated into German society in the 18 years after the war. The German society had sort of collectively agreed to forget what happened…until they were forced to confront their past. I thought it was fascinating and very moving.

    3. Is there actually a proper trailer for this without all the flashing quotes? Don't give a crap what critics say, show your trailer, don't tell me what others thought of the film.

    4. All these comments are A.I. generated. I hate how this is decided to be worthy of a screen. I saw this on website showtimes and thought, I'm done with cinema and its the attitude of comparing, constantly comparing how envious people are wanted to be. This boring sad movie should be deleted. It doesn't outrage (they're gone), it doesn't incite (newer problems), and it just prolongs a boring sad vindictive retribution that wastes everyone's time no matter which side you're on or neither. More white house media, no thanks.

    5. "The prisoner was torn from the top bunk, the pyjamas ripped from his body. He was dragged naked to one of the slaughter tables, where it seemed to Clarke the blows and screams were endless. Eventually the Medical Officer urged the Captain: ‘Call them off, unless you want to take back a corpse. A blanket was thrown over Hoess and he was dragged to Clarke’s car, where the sergeant poured a substantial slug of whisky down his throat. Then Hoess tried to sleep. Clarke thrust his service stick under the man’s eyelids and ordered in German: ‘Keep your pig eyes open, you swine. The first time Hoess trotted out his oft-repeated justification: “I took my orders from Himmler. I am a soldier in the same way as you are a soldier and we had to obey orders.” The party arrived back at Heide around three in the morning. The snow was swirling still, but the blanket was torn from Hoess and he was made to walk completely nude through the prison yard to his cell"

    6. It was powerful in theme but disappointing in execution. This director didn't have the chops to take on such a subject matter. If you're going to make a holocaust movie it has to be absolutely killer and this was not.
