THE ZONE OF INTEREST – I was expecting this German film with English subtitles to have an impactful emotional punch like Schindler’s List, but it didn’t. There were several impactful short scenes, but overall rather drab and boring. John says he thinks it was intentional cinematography in keeping with the premise of the film. He says since the point of the story is to depict Nazi families living ordinary lives, completely devoid of emotion for the Auschwitz atrocities occurring in full view of their exquisite gardens, the whole film had that mood about it. He still didn’t like the movie though. Mike concurs. They may be right, but I feel it should have been more powerful in its message. Also, we didn’t understand the title. Cheers!!
