‘The Zone of Interest’ and Creeping Desensitization
The obvious comparator text for The Zone of Interest is Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah, possibly the definitive visual document of the Holocaust and a film most notable for its refusal to show a second of archival footage. The experience of watching The Zone of Interest is far from pleasant: The film, after all, opens with an extended piece of disorienting music played against a black screen. Yet, for all of its visual discontinuities and auditory vileness, Glazer is also daring the viewer to invest in the uninvestable. For as unbelievable as the idea of Auschwitz is, Glazer’s lens presents resisting Auschwitz as a different visual language entirely. The ending of The Zone of Interest offers few answers and far greater ambiguity.

The killing of two people in Bangladesh by a mortar shell from across the border amid fighting between the Myanmar military and rebels has sent more residents of Tumbru in Bandarban’s Naikhongchhari fleeing for safety. Myanmar citizens have also gathered along the border, fuelling concerns over a possible exodus, after more than 100 armed members of their Border Guard Police took shelter in Bangladesh in two days. On Monday afternoon, Bangladeshi woman Hosne Ara, 45, and Rohingya labourer Nobi Hossain, 65, died after a mortar shell landed and exploded in the kitchen of Hosne Ara’s home in the Jolpaitali area. Along came Hosne Ara’s elder brother Nurul Alam and Nobi’s son-in-law Abdus Shukkur from Balukhali refugee camp in Ukhiya. Nobi was among over 1 million Rohingya who fled decades of persecution and a brutal military crackdown in 2017 in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.
