The Zone of Interest is a 2023 historical drama film written and directed by Jonathan Glazer.... The story is loosely based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis. Starring German actors Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller as the Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, it focuses on the pair as they strive to build a dream life for their family in a home next to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp.

Cast
Christian Friedel as Rudolf Höss
Sandra Hüller as Hedwig Höss
Johann Karthaus as Claus Höss
Luis Noah Witte as Hans Höss
Nele Ahrensmeier as Inge-Brigit Höss
Lilli Falk [de] as Heidetraut Höss
With Anastazja Drobniak, Cecylia Pekala and Kalman Wilson as Annegret Höss
And Zuzanna Kobiela as Aniela

As of March 7, 2024, The Zone of Interest has grossed $7.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $16 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $23.8 million. In its opening weekend in the United States, the film made $124,000 from four theatres.[39] Following its five Oscar nominations, it expanded from 215 theatres to 333 in its seventh week of release and made $1.08 million, an increase of 141% from the previous weekend, and a running total of $3 million. The Zone of Interest premiered to critical acclaim. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 322 reviews are positive for the film, with an average rating of 8.7/10. ... On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 92 out of 100, based on 58 critic reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

.... German critic Hanns-Georg Rodek wrote: "Here's the first question The Zone of Interest doesn't answer: [is it a film that showcases] ignorance? Of course it isn't. [Does it show] conscious approval based on .... nationalist delusion? I'm sure it [does]. Is it longing for an idyll in the midst of a situation perceived as threatening? Without a doubt. There are many attempts at an explanation, but they don't really interest Jonathan Glazer. Glazer describes the situation in what is possibly more oppressive than anything we've seen in Holocaust films before. It concentrates in one garden the attitude of an entire nation that wanted to know nothing."

Anatomy of a Fall (Anatomie d'une chute) is a 2023 French legal drama film, directed by Justine Triet from a screenplay she co-wrote with Arthur Harari. It stars Sandra Hüller as a writer trying to prove her innocence in her husband's death. ....In an isolated mountain chalet near Grenoble, novelist Sandra Voyter is forced to reschedule her interview with a female student while her husband, university lecturer Samuel Maleski, plays music loudly in his attic. Their visually impaired son, Daniel, returns from a walk with his guide dog Snoop to find Samuel dead from an apparent fall from the open attic window.....Sandra insists that the fall must have been accidental.

Cast

Sandra Hüller as Sandra Voyter
Swann Arlaud as Vincent Renzi
Milo Machado-Graner as Daniel Maleski
Antoine Reinartz as the prosecutor
Samuel Theis as Samuel Maleski
With Jehnny Beth as Marge Berger
And Messi as Snoop

On set, Hüller repeatedly asked Triet whether her character was guilty or not, but the director refused to answer. Triet ended up instructing Hüller to play her character as innocent...On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 216 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.6/10. ...As of 8 March 2024, Anatomy of a Fall has grossed $4.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $26.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $32.2 million....In its opening weekend in the United States, the film made $117,000 from five theaters. It made $152,000 in its second weekend from fourteen theaters. Expanding to 262 theaters the following weekend, the film made $634,000, finishing in 11th. During its fourth weekend, the film expanded to 440 theaters and made $600,355 for a total of $2 million....

"....As the cinematic equivalent of an airport read, “Anatomy of a Fall” is adequate—not brisk but twisty, not stylish but unobtrusively informational. But the artistic failings are obvious and distracting throughout. For starters, it’s filled with herrings that surely turned red from blushing with shame, starting with the interview itself...Sandra talks in literary terms of the uncertain distinction of reality from fiction—an abstract theory that seems to provide ready-made self-exoneration in advance of any inconvenient evidence. There’s also Daniel’s visual impairment, which, though treated sensitively, hand-waves a facile metaphor regarding the source of knowledge and the nature of bearing witness. There’s Samuel’s obstreperous misbehavior, a seemingly obvious provocation of Sandra’s (murderous?) rage; the movie could be subtitled “Death of an A##hole.”....In short, “Anatomy of a Fall” is a movie of prefabricated attitudes, and its dramatic construction is airtight and incurious to match. The script (which Triet wrote with Arthur Harari) drops its tidbits of information into the action but offers no perspective on how its events unfold. There’s similarly no outside perspective on the court case, once that gets under way..." - Richard Brody, The New Yorker

By its sixth weekend, the film had a running total of $8.4 million....On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 99 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 9.0/10....

( IMHO, three great performances. I just found it incredibly racist. A24 marketed this very well as it's IMHO a Western centric viewpoint on a desire to return to some kind of feudal society, in the guise of a commentary on the current Asian American culture. However it just plays out like Celine Song's tribute to her own self loathing. The target audience demographic will be young white college educated American women. If latent passive aggressive racism was a bakery item, this film would be the wedding cake version of it. It's otherwise well made, good production values and Greta Lee carries the film. If you took the cast of Green Book and tried to make Past Lives, then and only then could one really unpack the unspoken potential malice and carnage here. Just my viewpoint though. )

The Holdovers is a 2023 American comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Payne and written by David Hemingson.

Plagiarism accusation: In March 2024, Variety reported that screenwriter Simon Stephenson had lodged a complaint with the Writers Guild of America, accusing the film's screenplay of plagiarizing an unproduced script he wrote entitled Frisco.[2] Stephenson said that Payne had been sent his script on at least two occasions in the 2010s, and accused Hemingson's final script of being "forensically identical" to his, alleging similarities in "story, characters, structure, scenes [and] dialogue" across the "meaningful entirety" of the film.

American Fiction is a 2023 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Cord Jefferson...Based on the 2001 novel Erasure by Percival Everett, it follows a frustrated novelist-professor who writes an outlandish satire of stereotypical "Black" books, only for it to be mistaken by the liberal elite for serious literature and published to both high sales and critical praise. ....Thelonious "Monk" Ellison is a highly intelligent African-American upper-class writer and professor in Los Angeles. His novels receive academic praise, but sell poorly, and publishers reject his latest manuscript for not being "Black enough". His university places him on temporary leave due to his brashness with students over racial issues and suggests he attend a literary seminar and spend time with family in his hometown, Boston....Frustrated by.... the costs of care for his mother, Monk writes My Pafology, a satirical novel mocking the literary clichés expected from Black writers: melodramatic plots, deadbeat dads, gang violence, drugs.

Invincible is a 2022 Canadian short drama film written and directed by Vincent René-Lortie. It was the winner of the Prix Iris for Best Live Action Short Film at the 25th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2023, and was nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the 96th Academy Awards and Best Live Action Short Drama at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024. Inspired by a true story, the thirty-minute short stars Léokim Beaumier-Lépine as Marc-Antoine Bernier, a troubled young man who has been incarcerated in a youth detention centre; after spending a weekend with his family on a furlough, he is willing to go to any lengths necessary to avoid having to return to the facility.

"In his directorial and writing début, the short film “Knight of Fortune,” the filmmaker Lasse Lyskjær Noer went to an uncomfortable place, literally....approach to telling the story of an aging man, Karl Bergström, who is tasked with facing and accepting the death of a loved one. Karl is visiting the morgue, alone, to claim the body of his wife. The flickering of a hanging fluorescent light, which accentuates a dimmed, claustrophobic setting, provides Karl with the perfect distraction; to delay opening his wife’s coffin, he offers to fix it. An attendant politely declines. Of course, the moment the man leaves, Karl starts fiddling with the light, causing one of the few sources of light in the shadowy room to hang askew....

The story in “Knight of Fortune” resists sentimentality; instead, the narrative’s power comes from the chance, awkward meeting between Karl and another older man, Torben, in the morgue’s bathroom. Karl, who has taken refuge in a stall to cry in private, is interrupted by the voice next door asking for toilet paper. That request gives the visibly grief-stricken Torben the chance to ask for something else: he doesn’t want to go on his own to view his own deceased wife, and asks Karl to come with him. At Torben’s pleading insistence, Karl joins him, and their teaming up pushes the story forward, and pushes Karl himself beyond the boundaries of personal comfort. The result unfolds into both an emotional revelation and a moment of dark, dry comedy."

"The Last Repair Shop is a 2023 Canadian-American short documentary film directed by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers.....On March 10, 2024, it won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film at the 96th Academy Awards.....Since 1959, Los Angeles has been one of the few United States cities to offer and fix musical instruments for its public school students at no cost. Those instruments, numbering around 80,000, are maintained at a Los Angeles downtown warehouse by a handful of craftspeople. The film profiles four of them, each specializing in an orchestra section, as well as students whose lives have been enriched by the repair shop's work. The film concludes with a performance by district alumni."

RDJ coming across as a real dick when collecting his award. Doesn't even acknowledge KHQ handing him the award, but then shakes hands with Robbins. Wasn't a good look. The guy didn't have to act much to play Stark.
