@@logans.butler285 Read again, friend. I didn't mention the souls being in Hell, but that this is what Hell must sound like: a discordant cacophony of indistinct voices, ominous and distressing.

The single scariest piece of music I think I've heard in my entire life. Yet, within the context of the film, it also feels sort of cathartic. It's like all who suffered in the background are finally allowed to step into view and speak out about the unfair cruelty and horror they were put through. Still makes my skin crawl though. Mica Levi is one of the greats.
You said it precisely. It was really something to see how quickly people got up from their seats in my theater once the credits rolled, and this began playing. It was as if no one wanted to hear it. I was about to get up, as I usually do as soon as the credits roll, but this kept me in my seat. I knew I needed to hear it. I cried in several moments throughout the film, especially with the little girl at the piano, but I couldn't contain myself during this. It overwhelmed me. This film is an absolute masterpiece. Johnnie Burn, in charge of sound design, deserves some props as well. The story of this film is in the sound.
@@harrywatson2694Yep very true. I think why I used the word unfair is because the things that happened, on their own, are so incomprehensibly painful that I don't know if I've even had that emotional of a reaction to hearing about them. It's all so fucking sad that I don't have anything of my own to compare it to. So the thing that has made me think and feel the most, I realised has come down to the unfairness. The fact that none of it had to exist, yet still does. And that it was people who made it real. That's where I can feel the sadness and frustration myself: The experience of being bullied and seeing friends get bullied for their disadvantages. Why people torment and bring harm to others who are already more vulnerable than they are, is just inconcievable to me. Unfairness is nothing new for our world, I know, but tragedies like the holocaust are so frustratingly unnecessary that its almost laughable to me. This movie made me sick. I don't know if I'll ever watch it again even though i love it. But yeah, just calling it unfair is quite an understatement :/
There are strict rules that dictate what a score must be and Im not sure an opening track and a credits track constitute what the academy would consider a ‘score’. I heard it discussed once, specifically about how the first track during the credits IS considered part of the score, but the second isn’t.
I read about 100 novels and saw probably all movies played in Auschwitz. But this one hit me till the core, especially the closing score. It gives you an imagination what horror it must have been pushed into the gas chembers facing the immediate murder.
I've been wanting to hear this out of context. Divorced from the previous two hours of film, there's a great beauty to it. This is an important piece of 21st century music as far as I'm concerned.
I don’t think you can say you’ve seen The Zone Of Interest unless you allowed this to wash over you in full, at the end. Unbelievable work. I’ve seen it twice at the cinema already and want to see it again.
I am so glad I experienced this in theaters, with the sounds echoing in my mind, the sounds of suffering, dread, and horror. I sat there watching the credits in stunned silence, absolutely disgusted by how human beings like us are evil enough to carry out such merciless acts. Simply devastating, the sound design is phenomenal, it would win the Oscar without a doubt.
And the film has now won the Oscar for Best Sound. Definitely the best Oscar win this year. The sound in The Zone of Interest is used so incredibly well and is so haunting. I genuinely felt panicked the whole film and was shaking by the end from what I was hearing. Amazing amazing film.
This music conveyed pretty much how I felt at the end of the film. It was incredible to hear in the theater with many speakers, it was so layered and I couldn’t tell if I was hearing things like speaking or voices talking. Just as the film conveyed the simple home life of a family with terror and sadness just over a fence, never seen but faintly heard or smelled. A very powerful portrayal of the failure of humans as a species.
This is the sickest closing music I’ve heard in a movie. We just finished the film and my girlfriend started talking and asking questions as soon as the credits rolled but all I could hear was that scary, weird and f#cked up music. It’s unbelievable.
Saw this movie at a prescreening in January. It fucked me up. I was petrified by the end, that the credits came in and I just stood there in awe. Mesmerising piece of art in every fucking sense: one of the best of 2023.
I didn’t move for ten minutes after the credits ended. I was the last person in the theater and I couldn’t move. This song has haunted me since and I cannot stop listening to it.
In the beginning of the film, the score is slow-paced and sounds like a descent into Hell. We have to view these monsters as actual people. Then, in the end, the music is fast-paced and still eery, but the background sopranos make it seem like all of the horrors of the past can finally lead to peace. Brilliant film.
Well, they were actual people. I think the danger of labeling them monsters is sort of part of the problem... we label them monster and can just dismiss them by thinking "this could never happen to us" or "this could never happen in my country"... but it could. We as humans can get desensitized to horrors around us and even learn to justify almost anything, the Holocaust just happens to be one of the more extreme examples of this. This is part of what the Milgram and Stanford Prison experiment showed us: this could happen to any of us if we aren't careful and vigilant.
God I was at the Cannes premiere run of this film and sitting in the theater as the credits rolled listening to this was insane. So glad the movie won for sound at the Oscars last night. The sonic design of the Zone of Interest is one of the most inspired in recent years.
@@arefriendsaseptic Let's not belittle the horrible events of WWII. What is happening today pales in comparison to the holocaust. Not to justify what's going on right now by any means but let's just appreciate a movie and its story by its own merits.
I think what I like the most about this piece of music is the sounds of voices in the background, it gives me the impression of people talking over another trying to tell their own version of what they went through, to the point you can't understand anyone and, at the end, all of them just go into silence again. Very eerie.
Film ini juga menceritakan hal yang sama dengan perang Israel-palestina, disatu sisi para pejabat Israel/rakyatnya hidup mereka senang², bahagia, aman, sedangkan rakyat Palestina menderita. Saya harap komentar saya di lihat dan di baca oleh orang orang yang masih fanatik dengan israel
Just saw the movie today. And as someone commented here - nobody moved in their seats while this music played. Haunting and 100 % amazing (don’t get me wrong).
I was absolutely horrified as this music played in the theater. There's so much sorrow, pain and cruelty in this music it felt like someone ripped out my hard, dipped it in tar and then put it back in place. This is the sound of hell.
This soundtrack couldn’t reflect better the message this legendary movie tried to pass on. Barely displaying any violence whatsoever, ‘The Zone of Interest’ still managed to shake me to my very core. A true masterpiece.
One of the scariest pieces of music 🎶 ever in movies 😮 and i purposely watched the movie twice in theaters to sit through the credits and have this haunting aura of horror surround me 😢 I loved this music
Glad to finally find this. Like others have said, experiencing this track when it plays in the theater at the end of the movie is horrific. It's wild how much of a "I'm in danger right now" feeling is pushed on you with this track. Superb! Fantastic film, I was grateful to get to check this A24 film out.
I remember seeing this film in the cinema and this music left me shaking as I was sitting my seat and while walking to leave. There isn’t a lot of score in the film but when it is used, it’s brilliant.

Watched this today, the only person in the empty theater. This music was so mesmerizing, it was the first time I stayed until the end of the credits. Absolute nightmare of a movie
An absolute masterpiece of a nightmare. My dad (who did not watch the movie) asked "why do we need to retell Hitler stories time and time again?" This is not a story of the past. This is a story of present time politics and present time society, it merely uses an example that happens to be in the past. Look at the Israel/Palestine situation. Ukraine/Russia. It's the same, it merely happens in a different way. Look at new laws requiring trans people, regardless of their transition progress, to have the gender marker of their assigned gender on their drivers licence, therefor visibly marking them as trans. Back in nazi times, queer people were forced to wear a pink triangle to mark them as queer. I don't see the difference, it merely happens in a different way. Look at consumerism. We consume cheap products that were made by children in factories being paid almost nothing. We consume meat not even once thinking about the living conditions the animal had to suffer. At some level we know, but we ignore it, just like the Höß family ignored what was happening on the other side of the wall. This is not a story of the past. History repeats itself, it merely happens in a different way. It's the same old sickness, it merely shows through different symptoms.
Cette musique angoissante résume à elle seule l'horreur de ce camp d'extermination et les cris des victimes innocentes ! À la fin du film pas un bruit dans la salle, silence total.
I saw this with my mom and i literally couldn’t believe what i was hearing even now i still can’t, she wanted to get up and leave but i just wanted to sit there and soak in the music
How much do you want to suffer at the end? The Credits: YES One of the best movies in years. I can't say I loved it because I felt sick all the time but it was really an intense experience.
If this movie and Spider-Verse’s soundtrack were nominated, we could’ve had a medley where we had this movie’s ending credits theme transition into “Start a Band”. Oscars can be stupid
It also shares a likeness to the work of the Residents in how sinister the mundane can be made into…basically the movie only portrays how efficient and effective the murderous machine and it’s main drivers have become…deeply deeply disturbing…
I was stunned in my seat when this played at the theatre. The wails of the dead, ringing one last time. This is what Hell must sound like.
Exactly my feeling!
You assume that those Jewish souls are went to hell???

I work at a cinema, and cleaning up with this in the background is super haunting

Why do you have to clean when the movie is still playing?!?

I always interpreted the music as Höss descending those spiraling stairs more and more into a dark screaming hell with no chance of turning back.
Also the final scene bro, Höss is descending by the stairs and each floor that he descend is darker
