It was my job, and I want to be the best at my job - Rudolf Höss

So, ReidsonFilm are back with another podcast and here we have a pretty detailed discussion about one of this year’s most significant, and important, films: The Zone of Interest, directed by Jonathan Glazer. Winner of Academy Awards for Best International Feature and Best Sound it’s a film that tells a story of the Holocaust, but in a way that few films have done before.

I don’t think anything more needs be said by way of an introduction but during the podcast we refer to a short film, With a Little Patience, made by the director László Nemes. We have added a link below and would recommend watching this, if possible, before listening to the podcast.

I believe you should absolutely tackle the subject, but the essential question is not should you do it, but how? - Jonathan Glazer
