A co-production between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Poland, the film centers on Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife as they strive to build a dream life next to the concentration camp. It stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller in the lead roles." - Wikipedia

    Adding onto the scene you guys talked about at 16:00 - the older brother locked his younger brother in the greenhouse and made a hissing noise mimicking a gas chamber.

    Excellent analysis of the film. Just wanted to point out that in the greenhouse scene, the older brother makes a strange hissing sound after he locks his younger brother inside. The hissing sound mimics the sound of gas.

    The scene where the boots are washed has a different meaning then you ascribe to it. When the camera cuts to a shot from above, you can see that the servant is washing blood from the boots. The visitors do not need to remove their boots because theirs are not covered in blood like the commandants.
    The girl in the night time scenes is based on a real person. Jonathan Glazer met her. She recently died, and the film is dedicated to her. Although she was just a teen, she wanted to try to alleviate the suffering of the prisoners. The music she played on the piano was written by a prisoner, smuggled out, and left for her to find.

    I watched this at TIFF and could not shake it from my mind. Jonathan Glazer's choices in this film, are genius. To start with 3 min of black and just have the sound, was such a simple, yet effective choice that lets us know, this is a film we need to listen to, literally. Throughout the film, there were a number of times I thought, "I can't believe this actually happened." The whole film felt surreal to me.

      ​@@katliven The nanny was German. I was curious about the ethnicity of the staff and read the screenplay. It is stated there that the nanny is German. Back in Germany most of the people knew of Jews being prosecuted and apparently deported but didn't really know what happened to them. She had to live with this truth daily and pretend to be a happy nanny in front of her employers.

      Right, Höß hasn’t become a household name in specific regions of this planet when it comes to Auschwitz/Birkenau - especially for lesser educated people - probably more for those ones (that D.J.Trump has proclaimed to love) bc they are staunch supporters of white supremacy?

    "A Polish girl who lives near the Höss family risks her life to smuggle fruit into the camp. Filmed on a thermal camera, we watch her as she leaves apples and pears in the trenches for prisoners to find. Director Jonathan Glazer included this character after he met a real-life 90-year-old Polish woman, named Alexandria, who brought food to the Auschwitz prisoners when she was 12 years old"

    In regard to the flash forward to modern day Auschwitz … the thing that struck me was the people cleaning. Glazer doesn’t show us just the buildings and personal items of those murdered. Those horrific images could have been shown with nobody else in them. They are juxtaposed against the cleaning staff going about their mundane tasks. It came off to me like he was trying to say that even with the physical evidence right in front of you, people will still put blinders on and ignore the horrors of war and genocide.

      The retching implies Hess felt remorse, but that is not what I get from reading accounts of him after he was captured and imprisoned. To the last he saw his actions as right and justified. So this sentimentality feels like a loss of nerve on Glazer's part - shying away from reality's unsatisfying ending. Regarding the choice to focus on the cleaning staff going about their duties, I am puzzled. Why the cleaning staff? Why not the throngs of visitors to the museum? If the former suggests forgetfulness, the latter does the opposite. By selectively presenting the former, Glazer is forcing a meaning upon the audience. I say all this in a spirit of intense engagement with the film, not to denigrate Glazer, who absolutely made a masterpiece or near-masterpiece here. I just happen to think that the ending, along with other elements, remains cryptic and will spark many more interpretations in the coming months.

      @ryanfliegelman3166 Před 4 měsíci +7

      ​@@tylermoore4429in regards to him retching at the end of the movie. I did not interpret that as remorse but rather no matter how much you compartmentalize things commiting such atrocities will inevitably take a toll on your body. I think this is supported by the doctor visit scene shortly before where he is having his stomach inspected. This to me signified that he is having physical problems as a result of his job. There are many people especially in law enforcement or the military where ( in the rare case ) that they take someone life in a justified circumstance that the officer or soldier still has a very strong physical reaction. Depsite being legally or even morally justified. For the scene with the cleaners i do not think the only two options are having workers as a symbol of forgetting and tourists as a symbol of remembrance. The entire movie is about how humans can be desensitized to their actions. This can not only be in extreme ways like commiting a genocide but on a slower societal or even personal level. Watching the nazi "workers" throughout the whole film and then switching to the modern day "workers" made me think about how those people compartmentalize their own jobs. As a jewish person myself i cant imagine wiping the glass of those displays everyday without breaking down. Let alone to do it with such a nonchalant nature that they might as well been closing an ice cream shop.

    A film which reminds us that heaven and hell are not otherworldly in some far afterlife…. Heaven and hell exist right here on earth. A film that also reminds us that beauty and decay will always exist simultaneously. Is it right ? No. Glazer is not looking to change anything with this film but to remind us that every day we live we are AWARE of the atrocities that go on still today. This house just happened to be the perfect metaphorical representation of that. Don’t look over the wall.. look at the flowers, look at the garden. Life continues as beautiful as ever never mind the smoke rising or trains coming in. Those people aren’t you, you’re safe inside your little zone your safe space protecting you.… yes we know what’s going on but… who cares? Of course this is the view of the main Nazi characters but even though we did not commit these atrocities the people watching the film…. Is going to a museum to take pictures to keep the memory going on and containing these atrocities behind a glass make it better?

    I just watched it last night. I can’t let it go.
    It perfectly shows the quiet horror and how it affects each member of the family. The oldest son being groomed by his father on horseback, then beginning to practice on the younger brother. The baby that is being neglected and can’t stop screaming for help. The youngest daughter who sleep walks. The mother that has to detach from everyone in order to keep her “dream” real and going along. The father who does the same, but still feels for his children the way the mother cannot. The grandmother who speaks in a blasé way about losing when bidding on a Jewish woman’s items. The same woman she had cleaned for, and the same items she has secretly coveted. It shows how far this family has come, and the way they have had to literally climb over dead bodies to do so. Then the grandmother when faced with the true horror of her daughter’s living situation, chooses to take flight instead of directly confront it.
    This movie is absolutely perfectly dreadfully done. It treats the Jewish people with the utmost dignity by not showing their suffering full on, it seeks to not exploit them in that way. Rather, it forces the audience to have their faces shoved into the full reality of the situation.
    It should be a must watch for everyone. Especially now. We are no better than the very well educated and sophisticated Germans at that time. We have to keep talking about the way true evil can quietly exist next to the banality of life, or we may find ourselves reliving the horror.

    @yylevans Před 4 měsíci +8

    I just saw this movie. I just needed to hear some discourse about it. The sound in the background (the trains, dogs, gunshots, yelling and industrial sounds as well as the natural) was like a character itself. The Mother in laws note...I want to know what she wrote. It looked like the mother put it in a safe? The fast moving river where Hoss went to get his sandals and address his wife was oddly relaxing. At the end as he descends the stairs , retching at every floor was him descending into hell. Challenging movie. I really liked it.

      It wasn't a "safe". The thing you saw was a terracota stove. It's a type of heater that people would use to warm up the rooms during winter in that part of Europe or Balkan area. It works by burning wood, and those flames would then dispersate and warm up the house. In that scene, she put the letter in there so it would be later burned.

    • @katliven

      Haunting because her burning the letter mirrors what is happening in the crematorium that is over the wall.

    I'm a regular cinema-goer and this film demands I return to piece it together now I have a better understanding of the soundscape, the visual aesthetic and the underlying themes. It's not Son of Saul, so there is no moments of shutting one's eyes, to the contrary the film repays looking & listening harder and paying attention. The night scenes with the girl are beautiful, and moving offering some hope out of the darkness. I understand she is based on a real character and had met the team.
    A worth 'A' score, and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves cinema and where it can take you if you are willing to participate.

    The movie does touch on who the Hösses were as far as coming from a background of struggling financially prior to the war. Whereas that house was once owned/occupied by a Jewish family. Mrs. Höss talks about it with her mother about the house and its back story. As well as Mrs. Höss is the one who provides details of their lives prior to their current lives (i.e. the “agreement” of her tending to the children while he strived in his career). It’s very clear that they believed they struggled financially due to the Jews (propaganda), so they weren’t merciful of their actions because they felt they deserved the life they were living.

    I was never bored, the description of domesticity is full of details and every scene tells several stories that make us understand the characters, the situation, the context.
    No drama needed. That's how we all live life, simply and in denial of other realities.
    Those scenes of d girl leaving apples while d children are being read d hansel and gretel story (d witch ends in d oven) are powerful and chilling. She existed in reality and rhe fact she helped prisonwrs gives me hope in humanity. I read she was part of the polish resistance. Technically, the usage of that black and white with the shimmering fruit is genius. Ans hunting
    D end was a punch in d stomach.
    This movie opened a lot of questions in my mind, including who we are after we die, and d objects that tell our story.

    An observation too is that after the mother’s note is burned, Mrs Höss says something absolutely stomach churning to the maid. It shows her innate anger and hatred and supports further the character’s indifference, class divide and that assumed superiority. What she is really trying to get rid of is her mother’s judgment. And in the scene where she’s fighting about the transfer, she very subtly mentions their modest beginnings. That seemed to show this need to achieve financial superiority too and that is one of the reasons she is so attached to the house, the garden, and her status, even if it means living next to a murder camp.

      I have! Horrifying film - one I likely won't watch again. That sequence in the village towards the end especially...
      You're right to draw the comparison though. That film similarly uses pummeling, innovative sounds to add to a sense of visceral, gut wrenching horror, and certainly deals with notions of history and legacy in its final sequence. They're interesting counter points in that Come & See is about what you see and Zone of Interest is about what you don't.

    In regards to the workers in the house while i guess technically this is a class divide but i believe those were jewish slave laborers. At one point one of them is told that they can have her husbands ashes spread across the river or something along those lines. And in reverse i dont think the local girl is jewish because she plays the note as music rather than reading it or singing it. Putting a note for each word. Unless the note also had sheet music for it. Also the likelyhood of a jewish family hiding within biking distance to auschwitz at this point in the war doesnt really seem too great.

      This highlights one of my criticisms of the movie and virtually every media depiction of the Holocaust. It's important to remember that Jewish people were not the only victims of the Holocaust (although they were the majority). Political prisoners, Polish, Roma, gay ppl and those who've had abortions were among the prisoners.
      I agree that the staff were slaves but I don't believe they were Jewish. Hedwig even implies that she wouldn't want Jews in the house, only outside like the guy who cleans the boot. Auschwitz is in Poland and Hedwig tells us that they're local girls so it's not a reach. Also, the girl who's r*ped by Rudolf, is likely not Jewish either, in real life she was an Austrian political prisoner

    An alternate, ironic title for this film might be BANALITY.

    20:38 I wish she had approached the character as someone scared and going along to avoid being killed themselves. Also #careerism. The Germans would have been browbeaten into compliance, silence, etc.
    Like we were during covid and forced vaccines.

    When are we going to get a movie about the Jews living peacefully while children in Gaza are being slaughtered next door? Too soon?

    • @moviehusbands
      @moviehusbands  Před 5 měsíci +32

      I actually mention this in our year end video - that it’s hard not to think of Gaza when you’re watching the film. I don’t think it’s lost on Glazer either, who has mentioned it in Q&As

    • @mindysollisch2113
      @mindysollisch2113 Před 5 měsíci

      Oh, you mean the movie that will show how Israel defended the innocent Israelis, including Thais and Arabs, who were killed because Gaza-supported Hamas terrorists slaughtered, raped and held hostages including women and babies and protected themselves by entering a territory where Hamas uses children as human shields?

    • @flamingosaregreat
      @flamingosaregreat Před 5 měsíci

      Not sure they are living that peacefully in Israel since the terrorist attack. And also the premise of the film is the commander of Auschwitz making the decisions and planning the murder of Jews in the gas chamber. That doesn't really align with the average person in Israel 'living in peace ' I would suggest your comment has undertones of anti semitism thus the movie is clearly lost on you.

      Be careful. Genocide has a clear definition. What happened during the Holocaust is the epitome of a systemic genocide in every sense. What is happening between Israel and Gaza is not in the same realm. The USHMM frowns on such comparisons.
