Creating the Höss home

The problem with making films about the Holocaust

• The problem with making films about the Holocaust is that formal decisions inevitably also become ethical ones.
• The choices filmmakers make about camera movements, angles, lighting and editing have as much ethical significance as what is in front of the camera.
• Audiences are familiar with (perhaps anaesthetised to) the typical iconography of the Holocaust in film, such as watchtowers, barbed wire and smoke.

Representing gas chambers on film

• Höss is shown meeting with several men in suits, matter-of-factly explaining detailed plans for more efficient gas chambers immediately after a scene where Hedwig gossips with her friends.
• Critics have praised or condemned films about the Holocaust such as Son of Saul (2015), Schindler’s List (1994) or The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008) for the techniques they use to represent gas chambers.
• One of the starkest moments in The Zone of Interest is its representation of the gas chambers.
• The film cuts to a close-up of a small, white circle, surrounded by blackness – the spy hole on the door of a gas chamber.
