I suspect for many, the rip-roaringly entertaining “Project Hail Mary” served as an introduction to German actress Sandra Hüller. And at the same time, a couple of her previous projects are resurfacing via the best streaming services. Last month, the Hüller-fronted legal thriller "Anatomy of a Fall” hit Netflix. This week, “The Zone of Interest,” a deeply unsettling war drama with Hüller in a supporting role, has been added to Prime Video’s movie library.
This historical drama, based on real WWII figures, is one of the most harrowing movies of the 21st century, and I believe it needs to be seen by as many people as possible. Don’t go in expecting crowd-pleasing entertainment a la “Project Hail Mary,” but if you can handle an intense exploration of humanity’s capability for cruelty, you won’t regret watching.
