“Thanks for your National Socialist hospitality.” A24 has debuted a second official trailer for The Zone of Interest, the acclaimed new film from British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer (of Sexy Beast, Birth, Under the Skin). Opening in theaters soon this December, the film is appearing on lots of Top 10 lists this month. It originally premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and was expected to win the Palme d’Or, though it ended up winning the Grand Prix second place prize. Though initially adapted from Martin Amis’ novel of the same name, the film has a different focus. It’s about the Nazi commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his family who live in a nice home located adjacent to this horrible concentration camp in Poland. This stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller as husband & wife, Freya Kreutzkam, Max Beck, Imogen Kogge, and Ralph Herforth. A deeply unsettling film about the banality of evil, following this German family as they live a “good life” just outside of the walls of the Nazi’s Auschwitz during WWII.
Here’s the second official trailer (+ poster) for Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest, via YouTube:
