We wanted to take advantage of every second we had this weekend so only an hour after we finished breakfast we were off to the cinema! The Zone of Interest had been on our radars for a while now and seeing it on the big screen was 100% the right call for this film, mostly because the sound design was a sensory feast. It was almost like witnessing an art museum installation at times as the camera work and imagery evoked darkly cerebral energy. At times it knocked my socks off, but it plays everything in such an understated way that it never feels like it's going guns blazing to force a thought. Great stuff.
We discussed the film the entire walk back and even while we finished painting the kitchen. Completing a task like that warrants a humble reward so we got some warming fish and chips for tea. Productive, thought provoking and nutritionally beige, what more could you ask for on a rainy Saturday?
