A24 has released the first trailer for the upcoming Holocaust drama The area of interest, and the trailer is pretty disturbing. The film tells the chilling story of German SS officer Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, who raised their children on a farm next to Auschwitz.
The film is loosely based on Martin Amis’ Book of the same name from 2014, and was directed by Jonathan Glazer (Under the skin). Movie stars Cristiano Friedel like Rodolfo e Sandra Hüller like Hedwig, together with Daniele Holzberg, Ralph Herforth AND Sascha Maaz.
The director said of the film: “The great crime and tragedy is that human beings did this to other human beings. It is very convenient to distance ourselves as much as possible from them, because we think we are not behaving that way, but we should be less sure of it.”
The film premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and won the Grand Prix, the festival’s second most prestigious prize. The area of interest will premiere in the United States on December 8.
