The Zone of Interest
"Did you set this up to spite me?"
<PERSON> illuminated a lot in this Q&A after. He wanted to show the horrors from a specific, strange perspective bathed in the sounds of the surroundings from a detached manufactured reality. 417
Intimate, horrifying, full of situational improvisation, he cut together a 100 minute flick from hours of long takes.
My least favorite from his previous films but it definitely sets itself apart. A one time experience, for sure.
When someone asked him to talk about his previous films as part of a retrospective, he said that he prefers to look forward and will not say anything. This goes with the "visual artist" angle that he is only an ocassional filmmaker. 269
