early access: the zone of interest - a litany
Hey team, this is... I dunno, a tone poem on The Zone of Interest, I suppose? Something I felt I had to get out of me after watching the movie. It is very short, and very different. Also The Zone of Interest is a movie about the Holocaust, so calibrate yourself accordingly before you hit play.

I've been wanting to watch The Zone of Interest, this makes we want to watch it more?
I loved watching this, is it fair to say Zone of Interest falls into similar ballpark to Schindler's List? Yea it's a functionally great film that's mostly accurate and yea sad cause Holocaust is just grim?
I guess the difference is that one was directed by a Zionist, and the other wasn't. Eli Valley on the topic: https://jewishcurrents.org/an-american-talisman
I get the stark impression that The Zone of Interest is a decidedly "not fun" movie.

This was excellent. Oh man. Video essays sometimes feel like they're in a holding pattern these days, so I'm extra grateful you put something together that feels genuinely experimental
