The Most Haunting World War II Film of the Century Will Be Free To Stream Next Month

Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar-winning drama might be one of the most disturbing cinematic explorations of the Holocaust ever put on screen. Instead of showing atrocities directly, the film lets them echo just beyond the frame. The sound of screams, gunshots, and industrial horror hums in the background while the Höss family goes about their carefully curated domestic life beside Auschwitz.
