Hot off of winning a pair of Oscars this past Sunday, Jonathan Glazer’s horrifying Holocaust film “The Zone of Interest” will make its streaming debut on Max on April 5.
Winner of the Academy Awards for Best International Feature and Best Sound as well as the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, “The Zone of Interest” stars Christian Friedel as Rudolf Höss, the Nazi commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp, with Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller as his wife, Hedwig.
Without showing any of the Nazis’ genocidal actions, “The Zone of Interest” follows the Höss family as they go about their daily lives right next door to the concentration camp, as the sounds of gunfire, gas chambers and furnaces can be heard while Hedwig tends to her garden and her children play in the backyard.
