The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp. A historical drama film written and directed by Jonathan Glazer, loosely based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis

What the crtics are saying:

It is an extraordinary piece of filmmaking from the opening credits to the closing ones.

Stephen Romei The Australian

The scenario that Glazer creates and the performances of his lead players serve as a portal, challenging viewers to morph from spectators to participants, grappling with the enduring truth that we’re all capable of knowing evil when we see it.

I’ve seen it twice and will see it again, not only being astonished by the craftsmanship displayed in every scene but for its timeless warning that resonates now and, sadly, forever. It’s brilliant.
