Cinema causes only a feeling of hatred. When people are burned in bundles behind the fence, and they live happily for themselves, as if nothing is happening. The creatures... There are and will be indifferent creatures at all times, that's why wars are going on.

The main feature of the film is to leave violence behind the scenes and show everyday life against the background of screams and smoke - very strong. But I think a short film would be enough. Because in fact, the film does not give anything else in its course. The feeling of a waking nightmare is the same as at the beginning of the film, which is after an hour and a half of watching.

I added the movie to the list a long time ago. I will watch it.
There is almost no plot in the film, except for the event- the transfer of gg to another camp. Just the usual daily chores: cleaning, socializing and playing with children.
Scenes of violence are not shown, sometimes we hear only sounds of this nature.
But it is through the sound that we are plunged headlong into what is happening outside the walls of this house. Yes, you read in the annotation that the house stands right next to the concentration camp. This movie needs to be seen.

When the sounds of screams, screams and gunshots are as simple as the chirping of birds outside the window, people will not see the limits of the unacceptable.

The concept of the film is interesting, one of the most terrible crimes of mankind is simply as a background for the happy life of the "simple family of an officer of Nazi Germany." Interesting, but a little head-on. You understand the idea right away, something like a boy examining teeth seems too much. But when he locks his brother in the greenhouse and makes the sound of gas, it's creepy. I didn't have enough plot, after all, this is a movie, and 1.45 is getting boring to watch

I wonder if there is something very bad in my daily life that I am used to, and others would be horrified by? Is there any in yours?

@niggapig: few people pay attention to what is happening in the neighboring area. Well, or they try to pretend that they don't hear or see anything.
It seems to me that this is exactly what they wanted to show, that no one pays attention to what is happening behind the wall, and those who live in the immediate vicinity and the rest of the residents of the city.

@vbkb: For me, the film is about how easily a person can get used to utter darkness and not even realize it. Moreover, this is how nature intended - either to escape from stress, or to get used to it.

It is strange that the country of production is not Germany.
It's just like their movie. The superiority of the Germans over others in those days.

The ordinariness of evil seems to be even scarier than a direct demonstration of the horrors of concentration camps. There should be an Oscar for the sound, without it the film would not have worked

A film about the ordinariness of evil. As if without a plot. But it's terrifying how screams and gunshots are becoming the norm for heroes. Such a life is worth being afraid of.

On the one hand, I'm now wondering what happened to the children who lived in the neighborhood of the concentration camps like this, but at the same time I don't want to know. And yet it was exactly like that. They lived for themselves and were glad that they were not behind the fence.

And I was not at all confused by the timing. Many criticized this picture, saying that a short film would be enough, the plot does not move, it's just beautiful pictures replacing each other. The taste and color, as they say, all markers are different, but I was fascinated by the usual everyday scenes, realizing the horror of what was happening. This is the measured, everyday rhythm of their lives... They receive guests, sleep, have fun on their lawn, and the total indifference of the hostess of the house is something! Her actions and phrases are shocking.
It's a garden of Eden," she says, with gunshots and screams in the background. - Yes, the Jews are behind the wall, ay, let's plant more vines, it will cover this wall. That's the deal!
A mother raising children in her heavenly place, which she previously allegedly could only dream of, is absolutely not embarrassed that
a real hell has opened up behind the wall of her plot!
I agree with the commentator above that I would be interested to know how such a neighborhood has been imprinted on the lives of children.

The feeling after the movie is disgusting. He reminded me of visiting the Khatyn memorial complex, they didn't seem to show anything terrible, but it was creepy from some kind of ringing emptiness and awareness of the horrors that were happening.
It is amazing the cynicism and cruelty of how they do not consider another nation to be people, discussing how they will burn them in batches in the oven, or threatening the servants to scatter her ashes. These people have absolutely no moral standards, some kind of unhealthy denial of reality, when there is no more beautiful place for you than a house on a plot with a kindergarten next to the death camp, where your children are riding down a slide against the background of the crematorium chimney. And the mother, coming to visit her daughter, says that she has settled in well. But, apparently, he can't stand this oppressive atmosphere and leaves. It is still unknown what she wrote in her farewell letter, since her daughter decided to burn it.

Hitler, of course, gave the filmmakers a field to roam. It's very boring how much you can already suck on this topic. I didn't see any camerawork, acting, or interesting characters either. Movies are, of course, making money, but at least try when you shave for such painful topics

+ when watching, I wondered how much the Poles are a shameful nation that capitulated in the first hours of the invasion of the Nazi army and allowed such things to be built and serviced on its territory without a fight

And here I thought — but I wonder what would happen if this film were shown to a person who would not be aware of what is happening. A man to whom no one would say that this is the same Auschwitz. That something so terrible is going on there. He probably would have thought it was some kind of boring movie... Nothing is happening there. Ordinary people usually live and talk. Unless there are some strange moments in the speech that slip through.
In short, it is a very strong film, more than half of which is completed by our brain.

At the moment, this is the most creepy and vile film of 2024, Sandra Hüller is simply magnificent in her disgust. Sound engineer all the Oscars of the world! ❤
