The Zone of Interest has won the best international film Oscar at the Academy Awards, which are currently taking place in Los Angeles.

An adaptation of Martin Amis’ novel of the same title, and directed by British film-maker Jonathan Glazer, The Zone of Interest has largely German and Polish dialogue and therefore qualified for the award. It was the third British film to be nominated in the category (following the predominantly Welsh-language films Hedd Wyn in 1993 and Solomon & Gaenor in 2000), and the first to win.

I haven't seen it yet. It sounds... gruelling but worth it.

Yes that's fair. The horror is in the banality. I love it.

If you have the option, watch it with a good pair of headphones. The subtle audio design really makes it and you can lose that if your speaker setup isn’t tip-top. Headphones really help.
