This edition: Jonathan Glazer & Team on 'The Zone of Interest'

Episode Details

Original tape date: October 18, 2023. First aired: March 1, 2024.

Film at Lincoln Center welcomes director Jonathan Glazer, stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller, sound designer Johnnie Burn, and producer James Wilson to discuss the NYFF Main Slate selection, The Zone of Interest. In a conversation moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim, the team discusses finding an approach to the film, the ethics of representation, and fragmentary recreations.

In his chilling, oblique study of evil, British director Jonathan Glazer situates the viewer at the center of frighteningly familiar banality: the domestic routine of a Nazi Commandant, his wife, and their kids, while death and violence occur against those imprisoned in Auschwitz over the wall from their idyllic house.
