Very flexible in its structure ... got a movie from Glazer. This is the fourth full meter of the director. Before that, he filmed another novel by Michel Faber “Stay in My Skin”.
This film is an adaptation of the British novelist Martin Amis about the life of the commandant of Auschwitz Rudolf Hess.Roman Amis is 14 in his bookography. I highly recommend reading the London trilogy: Money: A Suicide Note (1985), London Fields (1990), Information (1995).
This film about the Holocaust in principle ... on the external contour of the presentation of material is no different from other – similar films. But this is only at first glance. For the refined, spoiled audience, the film is more in the style of Laszlo Nemes – “Son of Saul” released in 2015. But if the same Spielberg pedalling touch was the conflict part, then Glazer all this softened and left behind.
This is probably the only claim to the film. As for camera work, a meticulous amount of work was done; as Glaser himself said at a press conference, everything was filmed on ten static cameras in different rooms. This effect of the observer, to me, was noted. Especially in the final piece of the film.
The director here as a whole got his own idealology with the parameters of ethical rationing. In my opinion, very qualitative.
