The Zone of Interest was selected as best International film at this past Sunday’s Academy Awards. The accolade is well deserved.
The film also captured a much deserved award for best sound. I was genuinely happy. The sound in the film is captivating, eerie and unnerving. The sounds capture in the most banal manner the sounds of death at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Hitler’s Third Reich.
