Jonathan Glazer's 'The Zone of Interest' chills Cannes with bone-chilling Holocaust anti-drama.

TL;DR Summary
Director Jonathan Glazer's latest film, "The Zone of Interest," premiered at Cannes and explores the banality of daily life for the family of Rudolf Hoss, the longest-serving commandant of Auschwitz. Shot in a realist style, the film portrays the horror of the death camp from the other side of the wall, where the family carries on with their lives as though nothing is amiss. Glazer wanted to explore how it was possible to live with the horror on their doorstep and views Hoss's family not as monsters, but as terrifyingly ordinary.
