The Zone of Interest won best international film at the 2024 Oscars for its haunting story about a German S.S. officer and his wife working and living outside of Auschwitz.
The Academy Award-winning historical drama is expected to stream on Max, but a release date hasn’t been announced. The A24 film is currently available to buy or rent in 4K Ultra HD on Prime Video, Apple TV and other premium video-on-demand platforms.
Written and directed for the screen by British writer-director Jonathan Glazer (whose acceptance speech sparked fierce reactions on social media), The Zone of Interest follows German S.S. commandant Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel) and his wife, Hedwig (Sandra Hüller), working and living at Auschwitz in Poland, as the pair try to build a home and garden for their growing family outside of the concentration camp. The film examines the “banality of evil” during wartime in a grisly and macabre tale of family life.
The film also stars Johann Karthaus, Luis Noah Witte, Nele Ahrensmeier, Lilli Falk, Anastazja Drobniak, Cecylia Pekala, Kalman Wilson and others.
(Hüller was nominated for best actress at the Oscars for her role in Anatomy of a Fall.)
