“Do not look away.” A24 has revealed the first official trailer for The Zone of Interest, the acclaimed new film from British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer (of Sexy Beast, Birth, and Under the Skin previously). This first premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and it was expected to win the Palme d’Or, though it ended up taking home the second place prize Grand Prix just behind Anatomy of a Fall. 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 just outside the walls of this horrible concentration camp during WWII. Starring Christian Friedel, Sandra Hüller, Freya Kreutzkam, Max Beck, Imogen Kogge, and Ralph Herforth. This is an intriguing first trailer, more of a teaser – setting the tone and giving everyone a glimpse of just how unsettling and fascinating this film is…

Adapted from the novel of the same name written by Martin Amis, published in 2014. Produced by Ewa Puszczynska and James Wilson. Featuring a score by Mica Levi. This initially premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year (read our review), where it won the Grand Prix second place prize.
