    Oscar nominee Sandra Huller has said her harrowing new Holocaust film The Zone Of Interest highlights behaviour that is not so far away from our current global political climate.

    The film, which is nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, is a slice of life drama about a family living in a house and garden next to Auschwitz.

    Directed by filmmaker Jonathan Glazer, who is also nominated for Best Director, it stars actor Christian Friedel as Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoss, while Huller plays his wife Hedwig, who is referred to as the “Queen of Auschwitz”.
