The TVI Take
A Nazi commandant's family lives comfortably adjacent to Auschwitz. Jonathan Glazer's formally radical approach — the sound design carries the horror while the images show only the domestic — is a genuinely new way of showing the Holocaust.
Educational about the banality of evil and complicity. Cognitive engagement is very high.
