00:00 Impenetrable and intense, the German actress Sandra Hülle,
00:03 who was nominated for the Oscars and the Césars for her role in "Anatomy of a Fall",
00:07 returns to the cinema on Wednesday in the "Zone of Interest",
00:10 where she plays the wife of the commander of Auschwitz extermination camp.
00:13 "I never say that a film I make is important, but here, it is",
00:18 she says to AFP about this role on the banality of evil,
00:21 or the carelessness of a bourgeois life next to the death of a million European Jews in this camp between 1940 and 1945.
00:28 Question, the film is extremely disturbing for the viewer.
00:31 Did you also feel this discomfort while playing?
00:34 Answer, I avoid answering this question because it is strange to say that something was hard when you are in such a place,
00:41 in Auschwitz, note from the editorial, everything is to be put in perspective.
00:45 Whatever the difficulty you feel doing your job,
00:49 it is nothing compared to what really happened.
00:52 The teams were very respectful, warm, organized.
00:57 With Christian, Friedel, who plays the commander of the camp, we talked a lot,
01:01 we wondered all the time if we were acting right,
01:04 what was Jonathan's vision, Glazé, the director, where were the limits?
01:08 In the end, I would not say that it was hard.
01:12 It was for a time and it was just a costume that we put on.
01:15 Q, what convinced you that you were in the right by shooting this film?
01:20 R, it's the very person of Jonathan, Glazé.
01:24 His vulnerability, his doubts and the fact that he does not want to make a film on the Holocaust as others have done.
01:29 For him, this project was everything.
01:32 He made smart artistic decisions,
01:35 like using multiple cameras to create a permanent surveillance situation.
01:40 To take us, German actors, in this situation,
01:44 even if it was not about drawing a portrait of these people but showing a mechanism,
01:48 how people act.
01:49 For me, they do not even necessarily have to be SS,
01:53 it could be any couple.
01:55 Q, the rise of the far right in the world and the fragility of democracy,
01:59 does it give a particular resonance to your role?
02:02 R, I never say that the film I make is important, but here it is.
02:07 Yes, it is important to show that the far right, which is a fascism,
02:12 leads to violence anyway.
02:14 We cannot put this system in place without hurting people.
02:17 It is totally related to violence, whatever they say.
02:22 Even if people just want their little garden and live their beautiful life,
02:25 it is not possible without hurting others.
02:27 We must be aware of that.
02:30 Q, does this join the reason why you became an actress?
02:34 R, young, I did it just for fun and for the need to play.
02:38 It was the most pleasant thing I could choose.
02:42 When you grow up, more and more people see what you do and the responsibilities change.
02:48 At first, we don't think about it, but I always wonder what truth I am telling,
02:52 is it the truth of the author's or mine text?
02:54 Is there a connection between the two?
02:57 The question of responsibility,
02:59 of being honest and being political in what you do,
03:02 of carrying a message in which you believe,
03:04 it has always been there,
03:05 but the responsibility grows more and more.
03:08 I have everything I dream of.
03:10 I have no plan or anything.
03:13 I hope that this world will be a little more at peace
03:15 and that we will solve the problems it encounters.
03:17 It's much more important than my career.
