Cette prise de parole au nom de Jonathan Glazer, à la cérémonie des Césars, me remplit d’espoir. Le sens de la justice et le courage ne connaissent ni frontières, ni nationalité, ni religion. Ils viennent du cœur. J’irai voir “La zone d’intérêt” dès que possible. pic.twitter.com/cFFY6WpdPV

– While Jonathan Glazer didn’t attend the ceremony in person, he wrote a speech that was read aloud by the film’s French distributor:
“The fact that so many people came to see our film is extraordinary. The fact that it is so topical is alarming. To echo what we said a year ago, we wanted the film to all ask questions about dehumanization,” he began. Before proceeding: “Today, the Holocaust and Jewish security are being used to justify the massacres and ethnic cleansing in Gaza,” triggering a thunder of applause in the hall. Jonathan Glazer’s spokesman said: “After the 7-October massacre and the hostage-taking in Israel, this is an act of terror against innocent people, made possible by the dehumanization of people on the other side of our walls. That is the zone of interest. ”
Disclaimer: I can’t find an English transcript of the speech nor do I speak French, so this was translated with an online translator. If I can find a better source, I’ll update it.
