Martin Amis’s novel about Nazi commandant Rudolf Hoss, the architect of Auschwitz-
Birkenau. Filmed with chilly, sterile control, the film captures the nauseating
contradiction of Hoss’s idyllic family life, lived just beyond the camp’s barbed wire-
festooned walls. You might think you’ve seen enough films about the Holocaust, or
about Nazism, but you’ve never seen one made like this before: without excessive
violence, Glazer creates one of the most insightful and horrifying portraits of human
evil I’ve ever seen. CN
