Untitled Jonathan Glazer Auschwitz Holocaust Drama
Synopsis
Forthcoming Jonathan Glazer Holocaust film set in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
"I am interested in the bystanders who watched the atrocities unfold... I remember being very taken by the faces of the bystanders, the onlookers, the complicit, you know? Ordinary Germans. I started wondering how it would be possible to stand by and watch that. Some of the faces actually enjoy it. The spectacle of it. The kinda circus of it.”
“A lot of the stories I’ve seen, I do sometimes think they could be set anywhere actually. As soon as you define a plot, you’re sort of somehow relegating Auschwitz as a place and it becomes a context. For me, I don’t want to do that. I just felt that was wrong.” Jonathan Glazer
