Greetings from Lithuania.
"The Zone of Interest" (2023) is a brilliant movie by a director who's previous movies I wasn't fan of. But "Zone" is his best film by a mile and it's one of the best films of 2023 - it's a near masterpiece in my opinion. The approach to the material is what makes this movie so special. It's not a typical historical movie - this one uses sound literally as it most important tool. You don't see horrors, you hear them. It's all from the perspective of the ones living in the house - the way the hear it, so does the viewer. It creates a haunting experience. Performances by both leads were excellent so as a brilliant directing and writing.
Overall, "The Zone of interest" just might be one of the most brilliant and haunting and unique movies about war ever made. It will leave you thinking after and during the film. Great movie.
