A bad taste in my mouth
The Zone of Interest is a film that is uncomfortable to watch even though what you actually see is not particularly uncomfortable. It relies on what you hear, and most of all, what you already know.
The film is shot in a way that makes everything seem very real. Some of the shots even looks like they could be restored original footage from the 1940s, providing an insight in the way of life. A life that, perhaps, seems boring in some ways. This is what really emphasises the contrast to the grim reality that exists just outside the shot.
This film left me feeling like I had eaten something bad and didn't have anything to cleanse my mouth with. This reflects the despair and hopelessness in this dark chapter of history.
