The Zone of Interest is a 2023 historical drama film written and directed by Jonathan Glazer, loosely based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis. It was a co-production between the United Kingdom and Poland. Starring Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller as the German Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, it follows the pair as they strive to build a dream life for their family in a new home right next to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
The Zone of Interest premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on 19 May 2023 to acclaim, winning both the Grand Prix and FIPRESCI Prize, and was named one of the top-five international films of 2023 by the National Board of Review. It won three BAFTAs (including Film not in the English Language) and was nominated for five Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director for Glazer) and three Golden Globes Awards.
