Macon Film Guild Presents: "The Zone of Interest"

The Zone of Interest is a 2023 historical drame film written and directed by Jonathan Glazer, loosely based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Martin Amis.  In 1943, Auschwitz Commandant Rudolf Hoss lives with his wife Hedwig and their five children in an idyllic home next to the camp. Höss takes the children out to swim and fish, and Hedwig spends much of her time tending the garden. Servants handle chores around the house, while the prisoners’ belongings are given to the family. Beyond the garden wall, gunshots, shouting, and sounds of trains and furnaces are constantly heard.
