CNN —“The Zone of Interest,” Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar-nominated historical drama, is technically a film about the Holocaust.
“I knew right from the off that I didn’t want to reenact these atrocities using actors and extras,” director Glazer told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in a February interview.
“In other words, it’s out of sight but never out of mind,” Glazer told Amanpour.
“No matter how good an actor is, faking the pain of a severe injury, of fatality, is a very hard thing,” Burn told IndieWire.
At its core, Glazer says, “The Zone of Interest” is about what we choose to pay attention to — and what we’re able to ignore.
