In a statement shared with the Guardian, László Nemes says The Zone of Interest director’s speech ‘resorted to talking points disseminated by propaganda meant to eradicate all Jewish presence’
‘Today, the only form of discrimination not only tolerated but also encouraged is antisemitism’ … László Nemes and Jonathan Glazer.‘Today, the only form of discrimination not only tolerated but also encouraged is antisemitism’ … László Nemes and Jonathan Glazer.
Glazer and Wilson had been “circling around” the idea of doing a Holocaust film for some years before they optioned Martin Amis’s novel – a heavily fictionalised account of the Hösses’ lives – in 2014., “we of course knew Schindler’s List and Son of Saul and everything in between. And our conversations were all about, ‘What new is there to say about the Holocaust?’ Except that it was evil, which everyone knows and which felt like a straw target.
Nemes, who was born in Budapest and has lived in Paris, London and New York but remains based in Hungary, suggested Glazer’s words at the Oscars were symptomatic of a world view or “maybe even a collective psychosis” common to “totalitarian political regimes and repressive religious fanaticism”. On Friday, Danny Cohen, the film’s executive producer, said he ‘just fundamentally disagree” with Glazer’s comments.
