We discuss the winner of the Oscar for Best International Feature Film – one that split opinion, among critics and on the pod too!
-
How does the film fit in the pantheon of Holocaust films? Is it a Holocaust film?
-
How well does it deal with its obvious subject matter: the banality of evil?
-
Is the film neutral and detached or preachy, condescending, moralising?
-
What to make of the commentary around the film, including director Jonathan Glazer's statements? How does it relate to Israel/Palestine?
-
What to make of present-day Auschwitz? Should it be preserved?
