The Zone of Interest is a 2023 historical drama film written and directed by Jonathan Glazer. Loosely based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis, the film concerns the life of German Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, who live with their family in a home in the "Zone of Interest" next to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Christian Friedel stars as Rudolf Höss alongside Sandra Hüller as Hedwig Höss. Development began in 2014 around the publication of the Amis novel, which was partially based on real events. Glazer opted to tell the story of the real Hösses rather than the characters they inspired and conducted extensive research into the family, as he sought to demystify the perpetrators of the Holocaust as "mythologically evil". The project was formally announced in 2019, with A24 confirmed to distribute. Filming took place primarily around Auschwitz in mid-2021.
