Academy Award®-nominated director Jonathan Glazer joins us to discuss his latest film, 2024 Best Picture nominee “The Zone of Interest,” a searing drama about life just outside of the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp, which the director chose to have the audience hear, rather than see.
“The atrocities that are being committed in the camps - and the images that we already know in our minds, from all of the documentaries and books and fiction films and so on… I had absolutely no interest in reenacting any of them… But at the same time, they were out of sight, they needed to never be out of mind. So what I was serving in my script was how those sounds could come across the wall and permeate every frame of the film, bare down on this mundanity that we're witnessing day to day. And it sort of felt like that was the second film we were making. We always talked about there are two films: the one you see and the one you hear. And I think in many ways, the one you hear was the most important one to me.” -Jonathan Glazer, Director, “The Zone of Interest”
Joining the discussion is producer James Wilson, as well as Johnnie Burn, the film’s sound designer, supervising sound editor, and re-recording mixer, whose work on this film also received a 2024 Academy Award nomination in the Sound category.
This conversation was recorded as a live panel discussion after a screening of the film at the New York Film Festival and was part of our support of the FLC Artist Academy program, where we bring conversations about the art and craft of filmmaking to the next generation of directors: www.filmlinc.org/academy-prog...

I was completely floored by this movie. Rarely does a truly radical film like this spill into the mainstream. Kubrick would approve.

@antoinepetrov 4 ай бұрын

Wow, is it reminiscent of Kubrick? I'm hooked

@batann 3 ай бұрын

Agree 💯. Kubrick would be proud. The original high concept filmmaker

For us it was the constant stress… Stress, stress, stress!!!The whole movie we were on the edge of our seat expecting horror because of the sounds and things constantly happening on the background. One of the best films I’ve ever seen!

That is Terror with a capital T. A prosaic example is the score in Jaws when we expect the shark to appear. This is that form of terror X1,000,000

Totally agree. I don't get the reviewers who call it boring. I was terrified the whole way through.

I fight back this Horrorfilm. Why...? Looking back without regretting is not possible. 😮😢

the true horror is that within us all resides the heart of darkness.

Saw it yesteray and I was so unnerved and haunted by it. The soundscape really was something else. I found myslef doubting every slight noise.

Under the Skin is another masterpiece of Glaser, making a fantastic book into an astounding movie. Talk about an Artist!

I saw this film three days ago. In 1980 I lived in Krakow Poland so I got very familiar with the sense of Poland, the darkness of communism, the proximity to the camps. I visited the camp, now called the German Concentration Camp at Oswiecim. I am fascinated by the pure artistry of this film, the sound, the garden, the Polish maids, the views of the camp you can see almost all the time over the wall. Interesting that witness testimony provided the sound for the film. I can’t imagine what the reality of this family and the camps is.

I saw this last evening at a cinema in my city, Budapest, floored, truly. 2 of my husband's grandparents survived Auschwitz (barely) so it was already personal. I didn't know that the specific Hungarian part would be featured in the film, so it a trainride for sure. Very content artisty like this came to life, thank you.

Jonathan Glazer is a brilliant filmmaker. He's a geat artist. This is a uniquely provocative take on the subject. It is a profound film. Still, my favorite Jonathan Glazer film is Under The Skin.

I love when Jonathan said the flower scene is the center of the film! Around 14:00 mark

Thank goodness real artistry has moved back into the film experience. It has been a long, long time.

I watched it for the first time today, very unsettling, and the sounds make you think it’s happening at full capacity 24 hrs a day.

The feel-good commercial music in the beginning of this video juxtaposed with the images of the movie in question is hilarious.

18:29 - I DID think it was a technical error in the theater! I jumped up and went off to the side and googled the movie to see if that was how the scene was meant to play and it was! I was gonna go complain to the manager! 🤣

Dear Mr. Kiser, or may I call you Glenn, how are you today? I know for a fact that the bakeoff for the Academy Award for Best Sound is coming up soon this week, or is it this weekend, and I'm just wondering if you have given any thought of going to the bakeoff for this year? Just want to find out, that's all, O.K.? P.S. What do you think of this year's shortlist for Sound?
