**The Zone of Interest** (2023). Rudolph Hoss, the commandant of Auschwitz and his family enjoy an idyllic life literally in the shadow of the camp. Haunting and understated but very effective, with the horrors of the camp portrayed mostly indirectly by distant sounds and household conversations. A worthy Best Picture nominee but profoundly depressing. It’s in German which is great for authenticity but most of us non-German speakers have to keep our eyes glued on the subtitles.
