Homegrown experimentalism reigned supreme at the London Critics’ Circle awards, which gave its top honours to Jonathan Glazer’s radical Holocaust film, The Zone of Interest – and an equal number to Andrew Haigh’s devastating ghost romance, All of Us Strangers.

The Zone of Interest, about the domestic idyll constructed by Hedwig and Rudolph Höss next door to Auschwitz, where he was camp commandant, won best picture and best director.
