A look at how The Zone of Interest uses off-screen space and sound design in one of the most hauntingly powerful ways I've ever seen in a film. Featuring an interview with Johnnie Burn, sound designer who just won an Oscar for his work on this film.

This video is spoiler free, so if you haven't seen the movie you, this video will be a good introduction to what's unique about it, and why it's a significant achievement from a filmmaking perspective. If you have seen it, I hope this video gives you some extra insight into the unique craft and attention that went into this film.
