2010-Present

Long and medium shots, long takes on hidden cameras, and no close-ups lend a sterile air to a film that shows the ordinary lives of the family that lives next door to Auschwitz; the family of camp commandant, Rudolf Höss. This is not a conventional film telling the story of the Holocaust, nor even just the part played by Auschwitz. It shows how it is possible that the Holocaust could be perpetrated.

I'm not a fan of 3D films, but this worked particularly well. If you suffer from claustrophobia or vertigo, give it a miss or watch in 2D only. It's a fantastic experience.

The definition of cinema (a moving picture) expertly exemplified.

A 'heist movie' with a difference, about the improbable exploration of the subconscious, that I find myself compulsively drawn to watching.
