“The Zone of Interest,” Jonathan Glazer’s chilling drama set just outside the fences of Auschwitz during World War II, has been named the best film of 2023 by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, which voted on and announced its 2023 awards on Sunday.
Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” was the runner-up. “Anatomy of a Fall” won the award for the best film not in the English language, with the Mexican film “Totem” finishing second.
Glazer also won the best director award, with Yorgos Lanthimos taking the runner-up slot for his twisted fantasia “Poor Things.”
“The Zone of Interest,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, won that festival’s Grand Prix, essentially the second-place award to the Palme d’Or (which was won by “Anatomy of a Fall”).
