‘Zone of Interest’ Executive Producer Danny Cohen Refutes Director Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar Speech: ‘I Just Fundamentally Disagree’
'The Zone of Interest' executive producer Danny Cohen is the first member of the filmmaking team to break his silence over Jonathan Glazer's speech.
Glazer’s comments caused huge hurt and offence among swathes of the Jewish community across the world, with Holocaust survivors writing open letters to repudiate his claims. “The Zone of Interest” follows the story of Rudolf Hoess, the longest-serving commandant at Auschwitz, and his family while they happily lived next door to the death camp. Cohen added that he’d been contacted by “a lot” of people in the Jewish community who thought the film was crucial to Holocaust education and were upset that it had been “mixed up with what’s going on now [in Gaza], whether that was Jonathan’s intention or not to do that.”
