I saw The Zone of Interest today and all the talk about it, from the creators and audiences alike, are so focused on its depiction of paradoxical humanity and normality within the monsters behind the atrocity that I was actually a little surprised at the extent to which Sandra Hüller is one of the most unsubtle and abhorrent cinematic Nazis I have ever fucking seen.

#I think the whole walked a dangerous line with the extent to which Glazer’s horror tricks and visual style rendered the Auschwitz cruelty #it’s all disembodied and inhuman aura (mostly aural) soaking the tedium and day-to-day #but I think it pulled it off.#Rudolph literally seeing into the future at Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’s janitorial staff was… really fucking interesting #still trying to parse that actually
