The great Oscar favorite that shows Nazi terror like never before

 


Dramas about Nazism have always been a weakness of the Oscars . Schindler's List , Life is Beautiful , The Pianist , A Secret Passion or Inglourious Basterds are some of the many examples that have been around the Hollywood Academy Awards with important victories. This 2024, we have confirmed it again, since The Zone of Interest , a British film directed by Jonathan Glazer ( Under Your Skin ) about the horror of concentration camps, is establishing itself as one of the great contenders to highlight.

In total, it has received five nominations for Best Film, Best Direction, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound and Best International Film. This presence in the main categories predicts a clear victory in the foreign production category, where phenomena like The Snow Society do not seem to have any chance. However, as routine as it may seem for the Academy to once again fall in love with a theme that has already won awards on many occasions, the truth is that The Zone of Interest has a very good reason for winning.

It talks about concentration camps, but in a way never seen before. At no point does it show first-hand the horror of the Holocaust, since its idea is to focus on the good life that the senior Nazi officials enjoyed in front of the fences , on how they turned a deaf ear to the horror that was in front of them while they were immersed in dream experiences due to the privileged position that Hitler's regime gave them.

The zone of interest , which adapts the novel of the same title written in 2014 by Martin Amis, places us in Auschwitz, in a house right next to the concentration camp wall. The camera insists on pointing out a family enjoying endless luxuries: exotic gardens, succulent celebrations, pool afternoons... But, at the same time, the soundtrack is responsible for clarifying the terror behind that place, which The protagonists of the film remain impassive . This is a shocking job with the off-camera, since, although we see absolutely nothing explicit, the brutal contrast between what we observe and hear leaves us with a terrible bad body.

Amy Schumer responds forcefully to comments about her face being "more swollen than normal"

The popular American actress, screenwriter and producer, 42, is in full promotion and was invited to The Tonight Show , hosted by Jimmy Fallon, however, she could not imagine the stir she was going to cause . As soon as she appeared on television, the networks became abuzz with comments about her physique and everyone wondered: 

What has happened to her face? Why is she so swollen?

The hidden film in 'Madame Web' that they did not dare to show us

 Spider-Man 's alternate universe is not moving forward on the right foot. After the success of Venom and its sequel, the continuity of this saga about the villains of the spider superhero seems to be in limbo. First, because of the resounding failure that Morbius was last 2022, and, second, because history seems to repeat itself with Madame Web , the film starring Dakota Johnson about this character with clairvoyant powers.

A hidden reference in the advertisement for 'Fantastic Four' gives hope to superhero movies

 The fantastic four are back at it. After two failed adaptation attempts in 2005 (with an even worse sequel) and 2015 (which is not even worth remembering), the original Marvel superheroes return to the big screen with a version that has enough cards to sing 'Bingo! !'. Because if the film that we will see in 2025 fulfills the omens hidden in the studio's announcement, then we could be facing the lifeline that the comics giant needs so much.


Finally, and after several weeks of rumors,

'Always the same day', the series for hopeless romantics that crushes Anne Hathaway's film

 Netflix premieres one of the most emotional, deep and unmissable limited series in recent months

Laugh. Mistress. Cry. But, above all, he lives in the now. This would be the perfect slogan to summarize the message of Always the Same Day (One Day) , the new Netflix  series that with 14 episodes of less than half an hour each will conquer hopeless romantics with a love story rooted in time. I suspect that the title is familiar to the vast majority. On the one hand, because it is the adaptation of the bestseller by David Nicholls published in 2009, and because Hollywood adapted it in 2011 with a melodrama starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess . A film that was a true critical and box office failure that, furthermore, was buried in the cemetery of cinematic oblivion.
