‘The Zone of Interest’ Wins Best International Feature Oscar


Jonathan Glazer's Holocaust drama 'The Zone of Interest' wins the Best International Feature Oscar at the 2024 Academy Awards.

The Holocaust drama, starring Christian Friedel and “Anatomy of a Fall” Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller as the German Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss and his sociopathic wife Hedwig, has been steadily wending its way through the awards season since earning the Grand Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Glazer loosely adapts a Martin Amis novel for this searing story about the Höss’ indifference to the Auschwitz horrors happening on the other side of their bucolic garden; the family lives with their three children in an emotionless bubble while Jews are exterminated en masse. Glazer’s previous films — including crime thriller “Sexy Beast,” alien-among-us sci-fi horror “Under the Skin,” and taboo reincarnation romance “Birth” — have never before been recognized by the Academy despite retaining cult classic status (and a recent showcase on the Criterion Channel).
