In a candid and provocative statement, Harry Collett, the co-writer and co-director of the upcoming film "The Zone of Interest," has revealed his intentions behind the movie's potentially disturbing content. The film, set in Auschwitz during World War II, is a dark and unflinching portrayal of the atrocities committed within the concentration camp. Collett's comments suggest that he hopes the film will elicit a strong emotional response from audiences, pushing them to confront the harsh realities of the Holocaust. As the film prepares to hit theaters, Collett's words raise questions about the role of art in sparking important conversations and challenging viewers' perspectives.
"I wanted it to — in the nicest way possible — I wanted it to hurt in some way. I want people to be upset," Harry Collett said.
