Okay, so I’ve heard amazing things about this movie, The Zone of Interest, and it’s actually on TV tonight! It came out last year, in 2023, and it’s a historical drama centered around the guy who was in charge of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss. Definitely planning to check it out if I can!
Okay, so this movie is seriously messed up, but fascinating. It follows a family – a Nazi officer and his wife and kids – who are living what seems like a perfect, idyllic life in a nice house. The crazy thing is, they live right next to Auschwitz. Like, they’re trying to build this dream home and raise their kids while, just over the fence, unimaginable horrors are happening. It’s about their everyday life and how they completely ignore, or try to, what’s going on around them. It’s a really unsettling concept, seeing that contrast.
The movie will first air on Channel 4 tonight at 9:45 PM. After it airs, you’ll also be able to watch it on the Channel 4 website. While it’s not clear exactly how long it will be available online, similar programs usually stay up for about a month.
