The Zone Of Interest (2023): The Most Brutally Difficult Film Of Our Oscars Season & Perhaps Ever

Ben & Rob cannot cover 'The Zone Of Interest'. Jonathon Glazer's latest film is uncompromisingly bleak, with even its slim glimmers of light only better illuminating our own guilt and complicity in society's continued evils. Starring Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller, Glazer paints a cruelly slow picture of the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife, Hedwig, striving to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.

Nominated for Best Picture and four other Academy Awards, 'The Zone Of Interest' is as brutally depressing as it's possible for a film to be, and pulls no punches in pointing the finger squarely at the audience. Can a mental health check in disguised as a light entertainment movie podcast even dare to discuss this film? When one is accused of being responsible for crimes that will one day dwarf the Holocaust in their destruction, is laughter really the best medicine? And can we trust Ben & Rob to deal with this matter with even close to the right tone?!
