The area of primary interest for new products
Grand Prize at the last Cannes Film Festival, The area of interest by Jonathan Glazer (Under the skin) aroused keen interest from the French public. While the $200 million action blockbuster, Argylewhich also came into operation on Wednesday 31 January, it bowed to Jonathan Glazer’s radical proposal at the end of its first day.
Thereby, The area of interest totaled 26,512 entries on 266 copies, with a total of 45,002 registrations counting previews. Argyle, for its part, attracted only 36,917 spectators (13,581 of which were during previews) on 600 prints. A hard blow for Warner Bros. which should still be able to make up for it over the weekend.
A radical proposal
An undertaking therefore for Jonathan Glazer’s film, which offered a radical vision of the Holocaust thanks to a device that never shows images of Auschwitz, but focuses on the life of the family of the camp commandant, Rudolf Höss. Dante-like work was done on the sound of the feature filmso that all the horrors that take place on the other side of the barbed wire reach the ears of the spectators, and thus unleash macabre visions, without ever showing anything.
When filming inside the Höss house, Jonathan Glazer had installed several remote-controlled cameras, so that he did not have to interact with the actors and so that they could establish intimacy and banality in this family life.
The area of interest it did well, as after the Cannes Grand Prix, the film also achieved success five nominations at the 2024 Oscars, including those for best film, best director for Jonathan Glazer and best international film.
After the success ofAnatomy of a fall, crowned Palme d’Or, is therefore on track to see another Cannes film achieve great success in French cinemas. Small anecdote: Sandra Hüller stars in both films.
