What a year for Sandra Hüller. Her being the protagonist of two key films in Cannes and the rest of the awards season. She was magnificent in both of them.
@@jimferguson7340 Not true. They have have been developing, co-producing, producing, selling their own films for a while now starting with Moonlight. Having said that, Zone of Interest was mainly produced by a Polish production company.
@@pb.j.1753Their production to distribution ratio is very skewed towards distribution. And regardless, the point is that there are a ridiculous amount of A24 fanboys who don’t know that, and end up transferring all creative credit over to the a company that had little if anything to do with the films they distribute. It’s like loving a book publishing company and ignoring the author
Something really eerie that I already like about this is that almost every shot of this trailer makes me feel like a voyeur watching them from hidden cameras.
This is the movie that starts working on you when it's over. Two days later, common things in your life will turn into flashbacks and connections to this movie. And of course Sandra Hüller, sometimes the walk talks more than what people say.
What defines a film as a masterpiece? Well, if it rattles around in your mind for several days afterwards that's a pretty good sign. In the last fifty years I would suggest three films which did this: Kubrick's The Shining, Glazer's Under the Skin and Todd Field's Tar. Now I add this one. Flat out film of the year, and maybe the decade, in my opinion.
Curious what you thought of The Lives of Others and Manchester By The Sea? Both had the same effect on me ..... as did Breakfast at Tiffanys now I think about it!
Saw it at this year Cannes Film Festival. I don't think I've ever been this uncomfortable watching a movie than this one. Jonathan Glazer and his team just made one of the most powerful, and yet horrifyingly falsly peaceful and quiet, film of all time in my opinion
I’m seeing this on Sunday with my parents at the SAV Film Festival and I’m so nervous they’re gonna hate it! Haha. They’re not huge fans of “difficult” films.
A movie that has haunted me ever since I saw it. A singular and horrifying work of art. You haven't seen anything like it before. I guarantee you that once this decade closes this is gonna show up a lot in those top 10 movies of the decade lists. I wondered how they are gonna make a trailer for it, but this is pretty damn good. ALSO, this is not a horror movie, I want to emphasize that.
I saw it at TIFF and it's easily one of the best movies of this year. It's so disturbing yet beautiful, and takes some interesting creative choices. The title card in the end of the trailer gives a hint to one of those aspects that had me floored while watching it (if you know, you know). This movie, Anatomy of a Fall, Perfect Days and The Boy and the Heron are my top 4 of the year so far. Dream Scenario is a close 5th.
Best Film I have seen this year and will remain in my mind forever. Masterpiece. Sound design and the music are as important as the visuals in getting across the horror of what is constantly going on but never seen. And we still continue to build walls to shut out what we cannot face, chose to ignore and do not want to acknowledge. Chilling.
This film is deserving of awards! It hauntingly reminds us of how humans can be so complacent in others pains AS LONG as THEY benefit - the world should take note well done!
Yes and just as the creator mentioned, it is happening right now in Gaza. It was super brave of him to say this when getting the award for this film. We need more heroes like him to speak out.
A white family!! So scary OMG, a family comprised of all white people, they’re literally Nazis and Nazis are bad guys, I know that cause I seen a movie made by Jewish people that said they were bad
caught this at LFF; it's what the film doesn't show you that makes it so haunting. really gets under your skin in a way I can't quite articulate. also quite experimental. do not except a standard Holocaust drama affair - this feels like something completely new. it will leave you questioning the morality of your own actions and ambitions in everyday life, and how we can be so content with the evil we mundanely enact on others, who we never see. people might see this as a film about the depravity of Nazism, but to me, it's more a scathing indictment of the entire Western world
indictment of the entire Western world? More like an indictment of the entire humankind... Everyone has this darkness within, the depths of which are endless... Many scholars have attempted to talk about this, and to try waking people up to this realization. Alas, the history seems doomed to repeat itself over and over.
The western world is not perfect but it does have the capacity for self-examination, as demonstrated by films such as this. Most cultures do not critique themselves in such a manner.
Glazer has always been such an interesting director to follow. I first stumbled on his work with Sexy Beast, and given my love for Kingsley, it was immediately one of my favorites. Under The Skin was such a steep pivot in execution, yet both are so incredibly masterful. Needless to say… I’m excited for this one.
I strongly recommend this unsettling movie which eerily depicts the banality of evil. The director has since made it very clear the lessons in it are not restricted to the Third Reich in the 1940s. In fact, he said, it is quite relevant to ourselves, at this very moment. We are being careless.
Jonathan Glazer is a genius, truly. To take such a subject and subvert the perspective, and have it be more impactful in some way...just insane. Watched it at TIFF and I have never seen anything like it. A slow burn, but once you realize what's happening it's almost becomes surreal.
Seen this at Helsinki International Film Festival. I was enthralled and hypnotized. Masterful direction, haunting score by Mica Levi. I especially liked the fact that it didn’t have any fancy film-like color grading and looked quite dull and digital. All of the elements worked for the plot and message.

I was transfixed watching this film and have spent much time thinking about it. First of all, go see this movie in a theater! Not only because it is so perfectly crafted, visually & aurally, but with so many wide shots, a large screen allows you to really see what's going on in each shot. I went with a group of friends, a medley of Jewish, non Jewish, American, Russian, Ukrainian, Middle Eastern, Argentinian. There was much discussion after - for all of us this film's message was beyond the holocaust, the past. It is about being blinded by self interest and your environment's value system - an important message for us all. Brilliant film making!
I also think it would be to learn from the past so that this horror never gets repeated. But one of the things I learned about the holocaust that I did not learn in school is much of their ideas they got to kill people and ideogly they copied from others. Americia had death marches on Native Americians. We also had an aslymum kill the mental ill and encourge families give them up long before WW2. There was a holocaust in Europe just before WW1 although not as talk about as the Jewish one. And many more. And this holocaust was not even last but we should end it. We should never let our hurbis rule our lives or our world.
I'd call this the MOST IMPORTANT film released in the 21st century so far. Yes it's about dark time in our history, but it's also about RIGHT NOW. Completely relevant to the dangerous times we are currently in.
i hate the way people try to put things in relation to other things that just don't fit. Gaza is terrible, horrible, no question. But the industrial (!!!) killing of jews and a lot of other groups, like Roma, socialists, homosexuals, handicapped persons etc. is just unique, in a very, very bad way. Well, just see the film and you will know what the difference is. There were people who engineered the killing of jews by inventing technical means to speed up the burning and the disposing of the ashes. Please don't degrade the meaning of the Holocaust. I, as a German person, have been hearing about the 3rd Reich, Holocaust etc all my (school) life, and I get it. I really, simply get it. But still, this movie showed me (in my late fifties!!!), what the every-day life must or could have been like. I went ouf of the theatre and thought, well ok, this is what I expected. But in the days afterwards, it kept working inside of my mind and I kept understanding the horrible times back then, better and better, and more and more horrifying. Go see the film. @@dlbdlb3919
@circlealliance42 A Genocide doesn't requre the killing of millions or hundreds of thousands of people. Wikipedia lists some Genocides which have killed less than 10 000.
this movie literally just give me a panic attack and I'm not easily impressed. it's the lack of actually watching the horror that make me feel bad. It feels like we are watching things from their evil perspective and it make me so sick. I hurt for all the innocent people who died i hurt with all my heart.
I work next door to the movie's director Mr Glazer. My workshop is right next to his. Two years ago, for months, I would listen to him and his team recording the sound of a child crying. I didn't know what the project was, so my manager asked him one morning when he met him in the hallway. He told him. And when I hear he got an Oscar I was incredibly proud to say I know Jonathan Glazer (even if just in passing). Everything was filmed on location, they re-built the house outside the actual camp, and no artificial light: everything was shot in real day light/night time. He worked for 10 years at his project, I highly recommend everyone watch The Zone Of Interest and read about the massive work he put into it. Also, read about the bycicle - if you know you know. Truly a great artist and director.
Ever since seeing Under the Skin in theaters and being absolutely blown away I've been eagerly waiting for him to make another film. I'll be there opening night!
The ever present sound of dogs barking, baby crying, the luxury of life combined with furnaces burning just over the wall. It was an in your face movie the whole time. A+
@@FredrikSkievan Creatively, it's definitely not the best trailer I've seen either. But for the genre...it was engaging and gave just enough away for the viewer to want more. That makes it a pretty good trailer to me 😆
When I saw how well received this was at Cannes, I wanted to see it so badly. Just finished the novel, and now I’m not so sure I want to. “Wanting what’s best for you and your family in life entwined with the unspeakable” is the absolutely perfect way of describing it. It was easier to just have a whiskey than think about it.
Film and novel have like nothing in common. Other than Nazis in concentration camps. The film is based on the life of a real-life couple/family. The novel is not.
I love A24 trailers because they don't give away the whole movie. Half the time you don't even know what the movie is about after watching one of their trailers. Love it
I didn’t think he could make a more haunting film then Under the Skin which of course is a Sci-Fi horror film. But I think he probably did it looking at this trailer which I really love that it doesn’t tell you a single thing, December can’t come quick enough now.
Holocaust inversion is among the sickest, morally perverse tactics created by Islamic extremists and now used by antisemites around the world. How about finding a way to support peace and safety for Palestinians without being a raging bigot to an indigenous, oppressed group? Your selective morality and white guilt only serves to further divide our society.
Quite a year for film. This is the most haunting film I've ever seen at a theater. In an almost packed house, you could hear a pin drop. Nobody talked. Nobody even coughed or made audible noise. Absolutely hypnotic in a nightmarish way and an incredibly thoughtful meditation on how low we can go as a species.
What is there to give away? It's just a bunch of people talking living those lives while others are suffering and that's what the trailer does. The movie in a nutshell.
I don't bother with the Oscars so I hadn't heard about this movie. But, after the backlash against Jonathan Glazer's Oscar speech, this movie is now on my must watch list.
I watched both this and Anatomy of a Fall in Haifa International Film Festival and with both of them Sandra Hüller is definitely coming for an Oscar double nomination
The view of a peaceful family with the background noises slaughtering makes a hell of a skin crawling trailer. Like Boys with Stripe Pajamas meets Dogtooth. Now you have my interest.
One of, in not THE most underrated auteurs in cinema today. I would watch truly anything Glazer directs. I hope a longer trailer is coming. Thank you A24 for continually working with brilliant directors.
Watched this at LFF. Best film I've seen all year, and there have been a lot of bangers. It's a drama-horror but the violence is kept at the periphery of the frame. Have seen nothing like it.
When the Höss family steals clothing and lingerie from the camp's prisoners: "I have no idea how anyone can watch that scene and not think of the Israeli soldiers who have filmed themselves rifling through the lingerie of Palestinians whose homes they are occupying in Gaza.." - Naomi Klein writing her review in the Guardian
I’m all for a trailer not giving much away but this gave literally nothing away. All I have to go on is the words on screen, the comments and knowing the director. Maybe after I’ve seen it I’ll come back and say ‘ah yep, I see what you mean’.
This movie was so different than every ww2 related movies I've seen..I mean the natural soundtrack made me feel more into the atmosphere and deep ..everything about this one was pure perfection..acting ..cinemagraphy..story telling ..performance..it was like watching Live documentary...
Saw this yesterday. Seeing it looming over you on a big screen is as unsettling as it is mesmerising. HOWEVER, as much as you can depend on the vision of a great director, alas, the general public can still show breathtaking disregard, especially given the subject matter: Half an hour into the film a family turned up rustling cartons of popcorn and the two children proceeded to giggle, talk, arse about with their phones... then left about 10 minutes later (thankfully, though not soon enough). The film itself is something to behold.
@@Goodbyemn2 Perfect. I have a policy of not watching WW2 films unless each nation is speaking their correct language. Seeing Germans and Russians speaking English is just too stupid.
Based on the amazing book of Sir Martin Emis, incredible British writer who passed away not so long ago. I recommend everyone to read it and read his other works.
This movie really seeped under my skin. I don’t often watch movies like this because they don’t hold my attention if I’m watching from home. Not the case here. I was immersed into watching the mundane activities of this family amidst the sometimes subtle, sometimes jarring audible reminders of the horrors being committed just beyond the screen’s frame or behind a barrier in the background. This film demanded and held my attention for every moment and stayed in my mind the next day. That’s no small feat because so many movies I see are very forgettable lately it seems.
Why did so many people are finding this movie so good ? Does is require some sort of finer taste in movies to enjoy this ? I literally got so bored after 1 hour, that I couldn't force myself more. It is so bland. I still do not understand why people found it so interesting.
Some people don't understand that A24 is a distribution house and NOT the actual content creators. They do (usually) a great job with marketing, getting nice trailers cut, and providing a home for more auteur directors to stretch out, but it's still coming from the minds of folks like David Lowery, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, etc.
@@justinkroboth360 yeah it’s been kind of disheartening to see a studio (albeit a decent one) get so much credit over the actual creators for the last few years.
@@WrathofTron I think it's because A24 is also good at marketing itself, with the branding and merchandise and so on. People can more easily cling to that sort of thing, but I think the more discerning among us know the reality and actually go to the sources. Kind of disappointed when I recently saw that they're going to be expanding into existing IPs and such, because there is already so much of that saturating the market, so it remains to be seen if they keep up the more auteur stuff as well.
A big part of it is that people are so used to the typical Hollywood pipeline, where the big studios try to churn things out and in the process tend to wrest control from the creatives in order to check all of the boxes and try to maximize profit. The fact that A24 doesn't fall into this mold is part of what makes them special, but people are so used to it that they just kind of assume that it's how every movie is released
@@croaxleigh fair to a point but I wouldn’t say they’re breaking the mold. They’re an independent studio and pretty much operating the same way that Miramax did in the early 90s. They have extremely low budgets and don’t gross a lot (only 5 of the +100 they’ve made broke $30M), but they turn a profit and get critical recognition. Independent films making isn’t new but the way A24 markets them is. Like justin above pointed out the main thing they’ve done differently than very similar studios (NEON, Magnolia, IFC, SPC, The Orchard, Strand, Annapurna Pictures, Searchlight, etc.) is turn their own brand into something akin to Supreme and market themselves as strongly as their films. I like A24 as much as the others I named and sorry I don’t mean to neg on your comment. I just think they’re one of many similar fish in the sea but everyone only credits them bc they’re prettier.
@@mariocinquemani3134 hey! The novel has the same name and it was written by Martin Amis. I advise you to read it knowing as little as possible about the plot. It's masterfully written and full of surprises!
The novel and the film have nothing in common. Other than Nazis in concentration camps. The film is based on a real-life couple, the novel is completely fictional.
Well.. After watching, I can confirm that the trailer maker for A24 is brilliant at his/her job. Not a movie to watch before bed lol, I say that because there's little to keep you awake for the first hour and it's always annoying having to restart a movie for that reason lol.
I’m obsessed with this film, the bystanders. Especially a mother having babies, nurturing her children as millions, including children, are turned to dust on other side of their wall. Human depravity.
I just sah the movie, it's really different. Many places with hardly any sound and a great mix of pure video and pure sound. A great ending gives the film a great massage. I would recommend you watch it, even if some parts are quite unconventional, it gets better and better when it goes on.
Why did so many people are finding this movie so good ? Does is require some sort of finer taste in movies to enjoy this ? I literally got so bored after 1 hour, that I couldn't force myself more. It is so bland. I still do not understand why people found it so interesting.
Outstanding film - both mesmerising and haunting. Stunning acting by both Sandra Huller and Christian Friedel - the film itself has just been nominated for 5 Oscars!
All I'll say is don't chug a Coke Zero beforehand as I was sat in the middle of the cinema and had to leave during the middle to use the bathroom. Between the horrifying sounds of the film and tense atmosphere I think everyone thought the two huge cinema door bangs were apart of the film All jokes aside, this was such a real piece of art...the music stuck with me and I felt uneasy all evening. Brilliant

this movie literally just give me a panic attack and I'm not easily impressed. it's the lack of actually watching the horror that make me feel bad. It feels like we are watching things from their evil perspective and it make me so sick. I hurt for all the innocent people who died i hurt with all my heart.
I work next door to the movie's director Mr Glazer. My workshop is right next to his. Two years ago, for months, I would listen to him and his team recording the sound of a child crying. I didn't know what the project was, so my manager asked him one morning when he met him in the hallway. He told him. And when I hear he got an Oscar I was incredibly proud to say I know Jonathan Glazer (even if just in passing). Everything was filmed on location, they re-built the house outside the actual camp, and no artificial light: everything was shot in real day light/night time. He worked for 10 years at his project, I highly recommend everyone watch The Zone Of Interest and read about the massive work he put into it. Also, read about the bycicle - if you know you know. Truly a great artist and director.
That's awesome. The natural lighting explains a lot about the look of the movie
lame
Massive respect to Jonathan Glazer for speaking out at the Oscars for a ceasefire against the Israeli genocide in Gaza
Free Palestine 🇵🇸♥️
Ever since seeing Under the Skin in theaters and being absolutely blown away I've been eagerly waiting for him to make another film. I'll be there opening night!
Jonathan Glazer is an absolute treat. Can’t wait to see this film.
Martin Amis RIP (1949-2023) 🪦
The ever present sound of dogs barking, baby crying, the luxury of life combined with furnaces burning just over the wall. It was an in your face movie the whole time. A+
In literally every single shot featuring the sky in this trailer, there is smoke. That is absolutely terrifying.
Oooohh scawy smoke!
Oh shit 😳 I just realized that. That is disturbing
@@noogate2672 Do you not know what that means, or are you just trolling?
@@Gemnist98 Is it smoke from the masturbation machines?
@@noogate2672it's from hitler's concentration camps when they were burning all the corpses of those couple million innocent civilians.
The horror behind the beauty of the garden... Thank you...
Now that's how you do a trailer. Unsettling, captivating and succinct. I didn't look away for even a second!
also didn't spoil the whole film like every single trailer these days
One of the worse tailers i've ever seen to be honest, Altough i do want to watch the movie so i suppose it worked anyway.
@@FredrikSkievanYep, it worked.
@@eijill1752trailers in the 90s were way worse. They’re better now
@@FredrikSkievan Creatively, it's definitely not the best trailer I've seen either. But for the genre...it was engaging and gave just enough away for the viewer to want more. That makes it a pretty good trailer to me 😆
Been looking forward to this. Glazer is a genius. He doesn’t make many films but when he does it feels important.
When I saw how well received this was at Cannes, I wanted to see it so badly. Just finished the novel, and now I’m not so sure I want to. “Wanting what’s best for you and your family in life entwined with the unspeakable” is the absolutely perfect way of describing it. It was easier to just have a whiskey than think about it.
Without saying too much the film is barely like the novel. Caught it at TIFF.
Film and novel have like nothing in common. Other than Nazis in concentration camps. The film is based on the life of a real-life couple/family. The novel is not.
00:40 looks like a furnace. Absolutely incredible shot.
I love A24 trailers because they don't give away the whole movie. Half the time you don't even know what the movie is about after watching one of their trailers. Love it
My most anticipated film of the year! Glazer + Levi is my dream team since Under the Skin
I didn’t think he could make a more haunting film then Under the Skin which of course is a Sci-Fi horror film.
But I think he probably did it looking at this trailer which I really love that it doesn’t tell you a single thing, December can’t come quick enough now.
@cyril79 Now consider me even more hyped then I already am. Sounds like a Michael Haneke film which is pretty cool.
I watch this and I think about Rafah, a word I can barely type without crying.
Holocaust inversion is among the sickest, morally perverse tactics created by Islamic extremists and now used by antisemites around the world. How about finding a way to support peace and safety for Palestinians without being a raging bigot to an indigenous, oppressed group? Your selective morality and white guilt only serves to further divide our society.
I hope people will see the similarities through this amazing piece of art.
who is rafa?
Call Sinwar and tell him to surrender then.
Disgusting. Comparing Israel defending itself against Hamas to the HOLOCAUST. You should be ashamed.
Glazer is one of the very best British creators . Everything has a message. Everything is about humanity.
Quite a year for film. This is the most haunting film I've ever seen at a theater. In an almost packed house, you could hear a pin drop. Nobody talked. Nobody even coughed or made audible noise. Absolutely hypnotic in a nightmarish way and an incredibly thoughtful meditation on how low we can go as a species.
Jonathan Glazer is one of the most unique directors I've see. Under the Skin is such a fascinating piece of cinema.
no he isnt
Anticipating this film so much. Anything Jonathan Glazer is worth seeking out!
Under The Skin is playing in theaters tomorrow. Definitely thinking about making the trip. Only saw it on bluray
GAZA repeated
This may be the best trailer I have ever seen! Perfectly communicates the vibe without giving anything away
What is there to give away? It's just a bunch of people talking living those lives while others are suffering and that's what the trailer does. The movie in a nutshell.
I don't bother with the Oscars so I hadn't heard about this movie. But, after the backlash against Jonathan Glazer's Oscar speech, this movie is now on my must watch list.
I wouldn't bother, honestly 😅
What a beautiful familly... united, educated and healthy.. europe at his best !
All covering up a genocide right behind them...
I watched both this and Anatomy of a Fall in Haifa International Film Festival and with both of them Sandra Hüller is definitely coming for an Oscar double nomination
If I had a dollar for every time an A24 trailer drops, and I see someone say “I saw this at a film festival” I’d probably have about 30 bucks.
how? they are both foreign movies though
@@theothernightsI think these people are full of it. Apparently sounding like an artsy thespian is “cool”?
@honeybadger2206 who hurt you as a child?
@@Psyteth my family, those who I thought I could trust. Touched inappropriately at an extremely young age. Wanna play therapist? 😃
The view of a peaceful family with the background noises slaughtering makes a hell of a skin crawling trailer. Like Boys with Stripe Pajamas meets Dogtooth. Now you have my interest.
A trailer that doesn't last 5 minutes, and give away the entire film??? Thank you!! Looks awesome!
I feel like I didn't get any information about the movie
@@filipsperl The information is there. Use your eyes.
This is a teaser of a film that has not plot.
Had to prepare myself for this one. Literally felt out of breath watching this. The score was unbelievably powerful. Wow 🤯
This movie is needed. Especially now.
One of, in not THE most underrated auteurs in cinema today. I would watch truly anything Glazer directs. I hope a longer trailer is coming. Thank you A24 for continually working with brilliant directors.
I think this is the perfect length!
@@_thk It is perfect. You’re right.
I love his films so much and this looks like yet another winner. It's so rare these days to be genuinely excited for a film.
Any other Director you can suggest?
Watched this at LFF. Best film I've seen all year, and there have been a lot of bangers. It's a drama-horror but the violence is kept at the periphery of the frame. Have seen nothing like it.
I will watch it because of the director's beautiful speech about Gaza at the Oscars ✨ ❤ 🇵🇸
That was the reason i went to see it and it did not disappoint
Yes! Jonathon Glazer can take my money 🍉
Wow, well we know what side of history you would have been on
@jacobkapplan4770 History will judge those who stayed silent on injustices. Proud to support those who stand for human rights .
When the Höss family steals clothing and lingerie from the camp's prisoners:
"I have no idea how anyone can watch that scene and not think of the Israeli soldiers who have filmed themselves rifling through the lingerie of Palestinians whose homes they are occupying in Gaza.."
- Naomi Klein writing her review in the Guardian
spot on...
This is probably the most powerful film I've ever seen in terms of how much it fucked me up on a physical level and has lived in my mind since
Lay off the dope, mate. It's not that good.
@@compareFirepower Not for everyone, sure. I'm not interested in forming an objective view of how good things are.
Sandra is on a roll.
I’m all for a trailer not giving much away but this gave literally nothing away. All I have to go on is the words on screen, the comments and knowing the director. Maybe after I’ve seen it I’ll come back and say ‘ah yep, I see what you mean’.
It's a teaser trailer.
film itself is like this
This movie was so different than every ww2 related movies I've seen..I mean the natural soundtrack made me feel more into the atmosphere and deep ..everything about this one was pure perfection..acting ..cinemagraphy..story telling ..performance..it was like watching Live documentary...
Saw this yesterday. Seeing it looming over you on a big screen is as unsettling as it is mesmerising. HOWEVER, as much as you can depend on the vision of a great director, alas, the general public can still show breathtaking disregard, especially given the subject matter: Half an hour into the film a family turned up rustling cartons of popcorn and the two children proceeded to giggle, talk, arse about with their phones... then left about 10 minutes later (thankfully, though not soon enough).
The film itself is something to behold.
gonna watch this after the brave oscars speech.
Why not this is a film aboaut nazis, for nazis made by a nazi.
@@shaik-cd7lui’m sure you felt relatable since this movie is about israel and gaza palestine?
Yeah DO IT! You will not be disappointed; just remember to focus on the sound as much as the sights.
@@hanonafz6569 you mean the fact Arabs are trying to forcibly eliminate all Jews from Israel yeah?
Despite no violence being shown, one of the most haunting and disturbing films I've ever seen. The way horrors are implied is extremely well done
This film is devastating and real in the small and large details. Thank you to the artists that made this work of art.
Do the actors speak German in it or English with a German accent?
@@Aethelhald German with subtitles
@@Goodbyemn2 Perfect. I have a policy of not watching WW2 films unless each nation is speaking their correct language. Seeing Germans and Russians speaking English is just too stupid.
It's a German movie with real German actors
I watched it for the first time today, very unsettling, the sounds make you think it’s happening at full capacity 24 hrs a day.
Nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at Oscars 2024!
This is going to be another hauntingly brilliant score by Mica Levi.
the moment i saw this trailer, i KNEW it's jonathan glazer. this is just genius.
Based on the amazing book of Sir Martin Emis, incredible British writer who passed away not so long ago. I recommend everyone to read it and read his other works.
Amis
This movie really seeped under my skin. I don’t often watch movies like this because they don’t hold my attention if I’m watching from home. Not the case here. I was immersed into watching the mundane activities of this family amidst the sometimes subtle, sometimes jarring audible reminders of the horrors being committed just beyond the screen’s frame or behind a barrier in the background. This film demanded and held my attention for every moment and stayed in my mind the next day. That’s no small feat because so many movies I see are very forgettable lately it seems.
Haunting movie... especially seeing it at the end... I walked those same places and have never gotten over it....
saw this at the BFI film festival, an unbelievably harrowing and haunting film that I thought was total flawless. An absolute masterpiece.
Why did so many people are finding this movie so good ? Does is require some sort of finer taste in movies to enjoy this ? I literally got so bored after 1 hour, that I couldn't force myself more. It is so bland. I still do not understand why people found it so interesting.
Jonathan Glazer writes and directs a new film with a trusted team of creative people.
Everyone in the comments: "A24 does it again"
Some people don't understand that A24 is a distribution house and NOT the actual content creators. They do (usually) a great job with marketing, getting nice trailers cut, and providing a home for more auteur directors to stretch out, but it's still coming from the minds of folks like David Lowery, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, etc.
@@justinkroboth360 yeah it’s been kind of disheartening to see a studio (albeit a decent one) get so much credit over the actual creators for the last few years.
@@WrathofTron I think it's because A24 is also good at marketing itself, with the branding and merchandise and so on. People can more easily cling to that sort of thing, but I think the more discerning among us know the reality and actually go to the sources. Kind of disappointed when I recently saw that they're going to be expanding into existing IPs and such, because there is already so much of that saturating the market, so it remains to be seen if they keep up the more auteur stuff as well.
A big part of it is that people are so used to the typical Hollywood pipeline, where the big studios try to churn things out and in the process tend to wrest control from the creatives in order to check all of the boxes and try to maximize profit. The fact that A24 doesn't fall into this mold is part of what makes them special, but people are so used to it that they just kind of assume that it's how every movie is released
@@croaxleigh fair to a point but I wouldn’t say they’re breaking the mold. They’re an independent studio and pretty much operating the same way that Miramax did in the early 90s. They have extremely low budgets and don’t gross a lot (only 5 of the +100 they’ve made broke $30M), but they turn a profit and get critical recognition. Independent films making isn’t new but the way A24 markets them is. Like justin above pointed out the main thing they’ve done differently than very similar studios (NEON, Magnolia, IFC, SPC, The Orchard, Strand, Annapurna Pictures, Searchlight, etc.) is turn their own brand into something akin to Supreme and market themselves as strongly as their films. I like A24 as much as the others I named and sorry I don’t mean to neg on your comment. I just think they’re one of many similar fish in the sea but everyone only credits them bc they’re prettier.
The novel is INCREDIBLE. If the movie is half as good, I'm totally sold.
Can you tell more about the novel? What's it's title? The same? And why is it so good?
@@mariocinquemani3134 hey! The novel has the same name and it was written by Martin Amis. I advise you to read it knowing as little as possible about the plot. It's masterfully written and full of surprises!
The novel and the film have nothing in common. Other than Nazis in concentration camps. The film is based on a real-life couple, the novel is completely fictional.
Well.. After watching, I can confirm that the trailer maker for A24 is brilliant at his/her job. Not a movie to watch before bed lol, I say that because there's little to keep you awake for the first hour and it's always annoying having to restart a movie for that reason lol.
I’m obsessed with this film, the bystanders. Especially a mother having babies, nurturing her children as millions, including children, are turned to dust on other side of their wall. Human depravity.
"I'm going to make this German family look weird."
Just came from that
Oh my GOD I can't wait!!!! What a perfect trailer. Knowing his previous movies and seeing this intense peek, I can't wait to see this!
Right next door........literally right next to them
I just sah the movie, it's really different. Many places with hardly any sound and a great mix of pure video and pure sound. A great ending gives the film a great massage. I would recommend you watch it, even if some parts are quite unconventional, it gets better and better when it goes on.
This movie honestly didn’t need a dialogue. The entire time, the background was doing the storytelling. Bravo.
oooh that Mica Levi soundtrack
The audio is amazing!
it’s a really awesome movie. 5/5 for me. loved it
Why did so many people are finding this movie so good ? Does is require some sort of finer taste in movies to enjoy this ? I literally got so bored after 1 hour, that I couldn't force myself more. It is so bland. I still do not understand why people found it so interesting.
This trailer alone gives me such an eerie feeling. Will definitely have to see this film.
I personally find it very brave that somebody finally tackled this subject through the medium of film.
A brilliant movie that showcase how today Israelis live with the genocide in Gaza
I've never been more excited for a film.
Outstanding film - both mesmerising and haunting. Stunning acting by both Sandra Huller and Christian Friedel - the film itself has just been nominated for 5 Oscars!
One of my most anticipated movies of the year. Can't wait.
Woah. Looks incredible and doesn’t give away the whole story of the film. Imagine that.
I like how this trailer makes it look like a horror flick. Which, in a way, it is.
Glazer has only bangers in his portfolio. So I'm hyped.
Sir, this is a Holocaust film. I'm not sure you should be referring to it as a "banger". It's not intended to be entertainment for simpletons.
That last song is still giving me nightmares
another masterpiece and i'm unsurprised that A24 had a hand in it yet again
A true masterpiece, can’t wait to experience this again
I still think about Under the Skin after so many years. Looking forward to this one with the same sense of dread.
same
All I'll say is don't chug a Coke Zero beforehand as I was sat in the middle of the cinema and had to leave during the middle to use the bathroom. Between the horrifying sounds of the film and tense atmosphere I think everyone thought the two huge cinema door bangs were apart of the film
All jokes aside, this was such a real piece of art...the music stuck with me and I felt uneasy all evening. Brilliant
Brought me to tears several times. Devastatingly poignant. And a masterpiece.
These people from London
It looks phenomenal 🤯
glazer don't miss
