2024/03/11

Jonathan Glazer's latest film, The Zone of Interest, is a powerful reflection on genocide in 1940s Europe. Combining Kubrick-esque cinematography with documentary-styleprecision, Glazer's film speaks to the present as a warning, that humans have historically and are presently, complicit in mass genocide.
