The Oscar for Best International Feature Film was claimed by the UK-Polish historical drama centering around the Auschwitz concentration camp, titled 'The Zone of Interest'.
Announcing the victorious film were actor Dwayne Johnson and rapper Bad Bunny, marking a moment of recognition for a work based on Martin Amis' 2014 novel.
Competing against notable contenders such as "Io Capitano" (Italy), "Perfect Days" (Japan), "Society of the Snow" (Spain), and "The Teachers' Lounge" (Germany), 'The Zone of Interest' emerged triumphant.
Expressing gratitude upon receiving the prestigious award, director Jonathan Glazer remarked on the film's portrayal of the harrowing consequences of dehumanization.
The film stars German actors Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller, portraying the roles of Nazi commandant Rudolf Hoss and his wife Hedwig. It delves into their pursuit of a semblance of normalcy amidst the horrors of Auschwitz, as they strive to construct a dream life for their family in a residence adjacent to the infamous concentration camp.
Prior to its Oscar win, 'The Zone of Interest' had also clinched a BAFTA for Best Film Not in the English Language, underscoring its profound impact and critical acclaim.
