The Zone of Interest
This movie was a true puzzle, with clues so obvious yet the family in this entire film was oblivious to any horrific price of evidence indicating the terrors of their next door neighbours. The story telling devices, artistry, and style of implications was just so complex and amazing. The family’s subconscious submission to the Nazi instinct was so shocking, but to them it wasn’t unnoticed. The way of far away still shots made sure to tell a story of the true unawareness people have when chaos is happening just next to them (literally); no attachment to characters, barely backstory, just behaviour.
