Synopsis
In 1943, the commandant of Auschwitz,
Rudolf Höss, and his wife, Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house right next to the concentration and extermination camp he helped create. Loosely inspired by the 2014 novel of the same name by
Martin Amis,
Glazer has created a singular, unsettlingly timeless representation of inhumanity and our capacity for indifference in the face of atrocity, filmed and edited with aptly cold precision and punctuated with an ominous score by
Mica Levi.
