Jonathan Glazer’s Zone of Interest has been read by critics as a reflection of the banality of evil. But, what if it in its materialist insistence on impersonal forces, it is more radical than that, forcing us to confront our own relationship in genocides that are still ongoing?

think its interestingly written review sadness-abysmal

Zone of Interest is, more than a dramatization of the Holocaust, a dramatization of the dialectic of enlightenment that led to it, and that continues to animate present conditions: from the world-historical crime of American mass-incarceration, to Frontex, to the hyper-violent exploitation of African mine workers. The Zone of Interest extends over the globe, the food is nurtured by ash, the water runs clear over the bones of the dead. It is only through the anti-empathetic camera of Glazer that we can reach such a conclusion.
