re: Zone of interest is great

My wife and a friend saw it at our local cinema here in Bavaria. There were 7 people in the audience. I went the next evening and there were also 7 there. The couple next to me left - the woman crying - during the part where the young girl was playing the piano. You have to stay through the credits for the score. I was the last one in the theater, and just sat there for a few minutes, not overwhelmed, but extremely moved. It stays with you a few days, that's for sure. Haunting is the perfect description of this movie. The reactions in Germany have been very "positive". Kind of strange it was directed by an Englishman, but maybe it was better that way.

The sound engineer spent a year compiling a sound library for the film, and it really paid off. One of the best uses of sound I've ever heard; it was a perfect mix of sound and absence of sound.

Sandra Hüller, who played the wife, was nominated for an Oscar for best actress for "Anatomy of a Fall" this year.

I'm really "happy" to read y'all's reactions from America. I was wondering what kind of reviews it would get over there.
