Making Of THE ZONE OF INTEREST - Behind The Scenes Talk With Sandra Hüller & Christian Friedel

[@alexanderzhukov3773]

They both were terrific

[@KingCrimson82]

Neu "ich bin Deutsch" with too stron "s"'s and "k"'s and "sch" tones in a too internalized way to to talk. Old Germans talked slow, slightly muffled and with elongated sentences, mostly a little too loud. If you hear the trails the accusers are often laughing about the germans and often believe that the germans play them for a fool. Ich habe..........aufgrund meines Standes als gläubiger Mensch................nicht immer...gutgeheißen........................wie die Handhabe................mit den Gefangenen....................an der Ostfront.........................gewesen ist...UND STATTGEFUJNDEN HAT. This way to talk is supported by a straight way to sit and stand with almost sung, musical letters..

Brilliant actors! I consider this film to be a masterpiece!

[@daniellekrammel4211]

Yes! I don't understand these weirdo commenters saying otherwise. Absolutely a masterpiece!!!

[@Wilhelm5381]

An absolutely brilliant film; restores one's faith in the Function of art, in this case cinematic art.

[@slopeboix2589]

Facts same here!!!!

[@alexalia2737]

The fact that Germans acknowledge what their country did is good enough for me. I've seen the film and it really is hauntng. It feels like a horror film although it's not, it's provoking and it chills to the bone to watch.

[@dinkster1729]

It wasn't only Nazi Germany that did these things. People in France, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Hungary, the Ukraine helped the Nazis carry out this horrible project against European Jews. Also, countries never invaded by the Nazis didn't rescue these European Jews or only rescued token amounts of them. Canada, the U.S., the U.K. were complicit because they denied these Jews a visa.

[@ginofactap]

if you didn't know germans acknowledge what their soldiers did (not them, their soldiers) by now, then I don't know what to tell you, other than maybe you're a very naive person. of course they know. if you somehow thought that all germans are 'evil' and now you're just finding out that's not the case, your government has successfully brainwashed you. at least this interview proved you otherwise, and that's good enough for me.

[@interekwebinars]

It’s a pity that the Russians have never understood their own totalitarian history in the same way 😢

[@losttango]

I'd argue that it is a horror film, just one that relies on what you know, not what you can see.

[@user-db5qy3yo6e]

Not all Germans, trust me

[@exanimo8554]

Wenn man bedenkt, dass in den letzten Tagen “Chantal im Märchenland” rausgekommen ist bin ich so froh, dass Filme wie Zone of Interest oder in Westen nichts Neues und Schauspieler wie Sandra Hüller ihr bestes geben den Ruf des deutschen Kinos zu retten.

[@sharonalbanese8084]

This is a brilliant film with outstanding performances.

[@slopeboix2589]

I love that this film is starting important conversations. It’s what makes us better people I believe. All I know is I’m grateful to be living in such times were film is still making an impact on us and how we think as human beings. We need more films like this!!!! Thank you to all the people who brought this film together!

[@sibylleacatos]

Un film incroyable qui vous donne des cauchemars malgré qy''on ne voit aucune violence ....faut le faire ! Les acteurs étaient superbes bravo à tous !

[@BM-qn2tx]

This is a masterful film. I saw it last night at the Delphi Lux in Berlin. The sound plays a huge role in the movie, serving as a character or narrator . One of the many reasons I thought this film was brilliant and so chilling was how it shows evil being juxtaposed with an 'ordinary', domestic life. I guess that is one objective of the film - how the perpetrators were so unbelievably casual about what was going on. The two main actors in the film were compelling and outstanding. Well done Jonathan Glazer and all the team for creating this film.

[@slopeboix2589]

Lucky! That’s so awesome! The Audio is so brilliant along with everything thing else about this picture

[@Maria-iv7sj]

Großartiger Film mit großartigen Schauspielern.

[@marinec4164]

I have seen the movie and WOW... That was brillant and terrific. I also have just recognized and just realised that Christian Friedel also played Georg Elser (the german resistant who tried a coup against Hitler in 1939 in Munich) in "Elser" Film. WOW.

[@dbadagna]

Very profound, beautifully realized, and haunting film, and meaningful, thoughtful comments from these actors, who did a wonderful job.

[@kathys53]

The film was extraordinary.

[@logos4929]

The best picture of 2023

[@floraposteschild4184]

Funny how they look so much older in costume -- at least ten years older.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

Yeah a lot of fashion trends from back then often made folks look and seem older than they were. It is particularly pronounced with Christian, who normally has a very sweet boyish looking face (curls help too) which normally is utilized heavily in previous roles, but in the movie there is a coldness and harshness to his face as well.

[@daniellekrammel4211]

Seeing this twice here in Germany because it was so brilliant. I wouldn't want to see it on DVD, only in the theater. I'm seeing it in the city where Sandra lives! The only negative thing was that the audience reaction did not seem appropriate in any way (can't explain it but very strange somehow). My German husband says Germans like to think it happened "so very long ago" but I don't feel like it was that long ago when the victims are still alive. It really wasn't so long ago...my grandfathers both served in WW2.

[@daimhaus]

I saw it in Kino International in Berlin... The audience was silent. Everyone walked out only at the very end of the credits. Some people had to sit down in the lobby and stared into the void. Everyone in Germany (mostly) knows about what happened but this movie hit deeper, it showed the banality of evil.

[@daniellekrammel4211]

@@daimhaus wow, glad to hear it! I saw it in Leipzig the day after it won the Oscar and the audience seemed very non-chalant, giggling and relaxed beforehand and hardly silent afterwards as though this was a regular kind of movie. Seriously, it must have been that particular audience. What a relief to know that wasn't a typical reaction.

[@carina8682]

I know that my grandparents, ( in Muenchen) didn't know what was happening in Dachau. And if you couldn't do anything bc if you would have demonstrated, you would have been shot. It was a very hard time for them as well, not having enough food, running down to the shelter, in the basement when there was an alarm. I know that my grandma never said Heil Hitler. It was a terrible time. But the movie was a masterpiece, and it makes us think. It happened 80 years ago, but what is going on in this world right now forces us, basically, live OUR lives bc, again, what can we possibly do. ?? It makes me personally feel helpless. Just pray for peace ?!.

[@Mariah-hd8xn]

both of them were phenomenal. one of the best things to come out of 2023 is Sandra Huller. she's like the meryl streep of European actresses. see her in anatomy of a fall. she's incredible to watch.

[@praudery6249]

It's intersesting that none of them pronounced the word "Auschwitz" during this interview. Great film, great actors.

[@joserafaelzepeda-garza9971]

Mr. Friedel in Babilon Berlin was great.

[@jirasi5557]

The ending was poetic...nature's caressing....reminded me of dantes inferno 7 circles of hell as Rudolf begins retching at every new lower level n then the museum housekeepers cleaning as if caressing the souls on fire set

[@losttango]

Glazer pinched the retching thing from a real-life incident in "The Act of Killing", the documentary about Indonesian death squads.

Can anyone please explain or recall for me what Höss said towards the end of the film to his wife on the phone about the people at that evening gala? He said something like he would want to gas those people but the ceilings are too high... did I understood that correctly?

[@LazyVeganWombat]

No, he said he couldn't pay a lot of attention to the people there because he was thinking about his upcoming job because due to the high ceilings the gasing is logistically more difficult.

Fantastischer, grandioser und furchtbarer Film.

[@carina8682]

I couldn't figure out what was in the river when the father was fishing and the kids playing in the water.?. Bc after they came home they took a bath and scrubbed themselves off. Also, the mother- I think at first she admired their lifestyle, and garden, but when she saw the flames at night lit up the bedroom, she left the next morning without saying goodbye. And the daughter burnt her note. At least the mother knew what was going on.

[@slopeboix2589]

Same here, it was a bone I think

[@marinec4164]

No, I think it was the ashes ..

[@dratenik7]

That was "waste" from camps what flowed in the river. Nazis "washed" remains of people from camps away. Thats why the family washed themselfs so urgently in the bath because they needed to wash away the "filth" from jews. Same example when Hoss washed himself after sex with jew girl.

[@arlenerubenstein6762]

Hard to watch but very well done. I do think, however, the film could have been reduced to about an hour.

[@Wilhelm5381]

Alas, I disagree, but so be it.

[@margaretmcgarry]

I agree an hour wouldn’t do it. It was brilliant

[@Coco-zu9ob]

It was an hour and 45. Killers of the flower moon was over 3 hours long. I think he did a great job telling that story in that short a time. It was a lean movie.

Ok All of the movie shots in the background are basically the ENTIRE MOVIE. If I hadn't already seen it I'd be PISSED. TELL PEOPLE THIS VIDEO IS A SPOILER

[@STREAMWARS]

All footage used in the interview was deliberately made available to us by the production company for the creation of our featurette. Incidentally, all the footage used here has already been published several times by the production companies A24 and Leonine Studios in specially produced featurettes. Therefore, no more or less is revealed than has already been done by the studios' releases. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoyed the interview.

[@brianhueber3683]

When you click on a 15 min video about a movie you haven’t seen yet, you spoil it for yourself.

[@Kasztan_101]

But what did it spoil? It's an honest question. I hate spoilers myself, but with this movie I feel like it's virtually impossible to spoil it by showing a couple of seconds, or even telling the events. It's just not that kind of film.

[@oneblueorange]

This great movie is very analogus to today. Except, the horror taking place beyond everybody's garden wall now is the legalised mass murder of defenceless unborn children. You better believe it.

[@joselingcastro8538]

If they are unborn, they are not children. Go do something about the millions of orphaned children instead of pretending to care for the ones that don’t exist. You are just like the people in this film.

[@madeofwax92]

You pretend to care about them until they're born. Try thinking for yourself maybe.
