Apparently composer Mica Levi (Under The Skin, Jackie) worked on the soundtrack for this film but Jonathan Glazer decided to not use pretty much any of the songs and instead just use the horror background sounds of Auschwitz (screams, shots, dogs, etc.). I love Mica Levi's work but what a magnificent call. The sound design makes this film go from a drama to a horror. That being said I really hope they release Mica Levi's work as a separate album.

[@petertaylorarts]

I think it was such a good choice for the movie but like you I really want to hear all Mica made as all of their work is incredible

[@whalewatchersa]

I would love to hear it. Mica's soundtrack to 'Under the Skin' is haunting, and I've listened to it many times over the years.

[@dawkosvk]

I mean just the intro and end credits songs were enough, jesus

[@suerobinson1323]

The use of music was poetic. Powerful, compact, expressing what was not being expressed. Brilliant and brave music and direction.

[@Kaisersozze]

I liked the film but was disappointed with the sounds coming from Auschwitz. They were not very noticeable, very muted and just didn't sound very real. To me it sounded like there were only a handful of people there at a time, it didn't give the feeling that there were thousands.

[@Pwn4Gamers]

One of the most haunting works of cinema in recent years - maybe ever. I have never seen anything quite like it.

[@lenaannis8787]

I am sorry to say i left the cinema during this film. I felt like i see the world as it really is, numb to everything that happens, including myself. I felt such shame.

[@hungtotheover3385]

When will Mica Levi be releasing their score??? I NEED it

[@FilmSureelist97]

Sammme I loved the soundtrack

[@antm2296]

The final scene of this film really hit me like a tonne of bricks, incredible directors choice. It’s certainly not for everybody, people going in expecting a depiction similar to Schindler’s list are going to be dare I say “underwhelmed” given the subject matter. But it’s a very quiet and subverted take on the horrors. Phycological horror at its finest. Kubrick style imagery and a hard hitting topic relevant to today’s current climate. Will be certainly going to see this again.

[@rosalie331]

Can you tell me more about the final scene please?

[@Johnconno]

​@@rosalie331It's...Unexpected.

[@petertaylorarts]

The greatest film since The Act of Killing. A rare and incredible movie

[@claustrophobeinspace]

crazy that they share the same ending. *spoiler alert* the protagonist vomitted in guilt

[@zx5147]

I read The Jakarta Method and then after finishing it, I immediately watched The Act of Killing. It made it all the more horrifying.

[@jeremyhopkins577]

The Act of Killing was a key reference point. Glazer had the cast watch it before production.

[@JohnClam]

A demonstration of absolutely genius filmmaking. I've never seen anything like it. Will stick with me for a long time

[@romilrh]

They say the best horror films wait to show their monsters. The Zone of Interest takes it one step further and never does. The result is one of the most haunting and unique theater experiences I've had in years.

[@sebastiengerber146]

The movie does nothing but showing the monsters. It's litterly the only things it does.

[@jozsefalfaro2350]

Spoilers

[@romilrh]

@@sebastiengerber146 You know exactly what I mean 🙄

[@sebastiengerber146]

⁠@@romilrhactually I don’t. And I don’t mean that disrespectfully, I just really don’t understand what you mean by monsters, as the only thing the film shows are the monsters (the nazis).

[@jpkdesignz]

@@sebastiengerber146 I can only assume he meant that the film doesn't show the monsters actually _doing the monstrous / doing the killing._ They only show the monster when in their lair caring for their children etc. Like a Xenomorph queen caring for her cute little Ovomorph eggs but not doing harm to nobody.

[@jnbeatnik]

Such an incredible film. Masterwork from Glazer and his brilliant cast.

[@TheRealClankZoka]

Mica Levi score released when????

[@jeremyhopkins577]

What an insane and brilliant way to make a film.

[@xmackdaddy69]

That Real Estate Agent's sale pitch for this one😂

[@9catlover]

such a subtle understated movie that really packs a punch. Especially relevant for these times and makes you question a lot about yourself and everything else going on around you

[@user-xs6kg2qk3j]

I sit until the end, watch the movie, and write it. I was curious about the director's intention to place the sound of disturbing screams in the ending credits, which include the names of the people who worked with him on the movie. But now, I get it. I realized the weird feeling of badness that I felt until the end of the ending credits. I don't know if he intended it, but that's what I felt. The ending credits music was a mockery of me. "Hard to endure? You want to go back to the 'real' reality that awaits you. Get out there, go out there and shut your two ears. Like the people you're disgusted with." I think these movies should get more and more famous. It was a masterpiece.

[@DR.DisInfect]

I need to see this looks like good fun family adventure

[@farleytron]

Shouldn't you be under a bridge somewhere?

[@cassiecarpenter]

Sooo good

[@cristiantigse3484]

A different shape of to see the horror, the cruelty.... Simply dont show..... The rest Is in the mind of The people..... Jonathan Glazer, a director Amazing, Incredible......

[@SamsMythDesign]

Give Nolan Director and let this upset Best Picture

Would love that so much

Grateful???? WHY?

1:38 when you see a sign leading to the Auschwitz Museum, then you know how closely they filmed.

will there be an official release for the gorgeous mica levi soundtrack?

[@sallyjeanspence982]

Astounding film...masterful in every way 🎉

[@dudeguybro]

I watched it this weekend with my fiance. Generally, we were just quiet with a blank or concerned looks on our faces. You almost felt like you were on the line of dread and shredding tears. You basically ride that line the entire film.

[@noogate2672]

The line for the death rollercoaster or the masturbation machine?

Dschingis Khan armies may have slaughtered more people than Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler's combined. In Eurovision Song Contest 1979 Germany wrote a funny song about him. Let that sink for a moment!

[@GraceEvans-us7uy]

How do Glazer & Wilson create such an extraordinary film & accept their Oscar 3.10.2024, then onstage refute their own Judaism? ‘Darkness is if you speak the truth then lie with your eyes, and if your eyes tell the truth, then lie with your mouth’. What are your truths, Jonathan Glazer & James Wilson? And how do you release this magnificent film, then turn on your own?

[@FUCKINGDOUG]

Superhero movie of the year

[@NewtShack5]

What do you mean by this, exactly? I’m curious.

[@altikirkbes]

You mean the "supervillain"?

[@farleytron]

The neo Nazis are coming out in droves to see this one. As far as I'm concerned, I hope the movie is trashed.

[@lidijabasanovic9779]

We came to the era when Nazis and monsters will be revealed as normal,God forbid 😮

[@gturcott1]

It’s not that they didn’t care about the Jews, they just tried to focus on themselves.

[@Brandon-tk2rw]

the only people who like this film are the ones who didn't read the book... I'm actually convinced that JG didn't read the book also, just used a main idea from the book to drive the entire movie. EXTREMLY DISAPPOINTING

[@rockyaoki8929]

The best Nazi reality tv ever created

Still waiting for MaXXXine...

[@NewtShack5]

That is completely irrelevant to this video, I’m afraid.

[@davide3663]

Nothing to say about cinematography and directing and, before you come at me, yes, i understood the meaning of the movie, but to be honest i found it extremely boring. It could have simply been a 10 minutes short. This was the first time ever that i struggled to stay awake in a movie theather. 1h40min felt like 4h.. I don't get how people scream "masterpiece".

[@shelleylarose]

Yeah it was not that great, boring as anything

[@altikirkbes]

A little overrated... Maybe good idea in paper but not so much effective when you see it with your own eyes. The most shocking scene, I think, was the one that shows the remnants of the prisoners inside the museum and listlessness of the workers there. I wish to saw more of the night vision scenes with more stories of other characters.

[@frihusiola4339]

It’s just sad that Russia is reliving history and wants to be like those guys. How can they be your inspiration, sick…

The fact of matter is that ” they ” can actually be în the gutter and claim the moral high ground🤔

This film story about past and happened now Hitler's victim become hitler it self. So pathetic Stand up for his (director) speech at Oscar

[@henryfonseca4198]

A film about of a family literally beating around the bush during the caust? Is that what this is?

[@overman2306]

Yes. For anyone who has been to Auschwitz, you'll know that the Höss family home was so close to the camp that it was basically in the camp.

[@jnbeatnik]

I suppose so. If you want to describe it in the simplest possible way then yes.

[@ivaerz4977]

Yes also there is 30 minutes fight sequence between nazi robots and X-Men

[@farleytron]

Why are we humanizing concentration camp officers(s)?

[@cattleyard]

To show that humans can become monsters?

[@semantickascadesyt]

[@farleytron]

@@semantickascadesyt I also haven't read "Mein Kampf" and I have no interest in doing so, and there's nothing that will make me think Hitler (and all his Nazis) were anything less (or more) than filth and garbage to be reviled and spat upon.

[@AnwarSaed-nr8xo]

That reminds us to FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

[@farleytron]

How?

[@AnwarSaed-nr8xo]

@farleytron I feel like all these movies that all the studios are putting out about what happened to the Jews and this story we all know only show us that what they're doing now to the Palestinians is exactly what they ran from to PALESTINE in the first place which is ironic because these movies are supposed make us understand this whole "right to defend itself" thingie, but honestly it's not doing it for me, the more I watch these films the more I get enraged because they should know better than to repeat history.

[@farleytron]

@@AnwarSaed-nr8xo Although I understand your anger towards the garbage people in the Israeli government and their atrocities in Palestine, it doesn't make this movie about the Israelis. This movie is an attempt to make a systematic genocide of an entire continent look banal and mundane. I find THAT repulsive. Here's a simple "thought experiment".... imagine 10 years from now, a movie comes out from A24... and its about an Israeli Army General who lives a few miles from Gaza in a nice house, and listens to the sounds of innocent Palestinians being murdered, executed, raped, abused and their corpses burned. Would you think it was a good movie?

[@ak203]

Ok, acting is clearly a skill, but these are not Brits landing at Normandy or Israli's entering a Hamas tunnel. They are playing make-pretend. So I don't get how they make this sound like such a huge deal.

[@farleytron]

Plenty of neo Nazis will be lining up to watch this "documentary", though... and probably cheering for the main characters. Disgusting.

[@tarnopol]

We are all living in the zone of interest with respect to carbon-and many of us with respect to Gaza.

No need to be insulting to people who genuinely appreciated this movie. Personally I'm obsessed with it ever since I saw it, can't stop thinking about it and feeling the movie under my skin.
