Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Adapted from Percival Everett\u2019s novel, Cord Jefferson\u2019s \u201cAmerican Fiction\u201d offers a clever, emotionally nuanced look at life\u2019s paradoxes. It shows that kindness can mask hypocrisy, that empathy can be profitable, and casts a curious eye on how art from marginalized creators is perceived. Featuring Oscar-nominated Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K. Brown, Jefferson delivers one of 2023\u2019s most cleverly written and engaging films.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Fiction\u201d follows Thelonious \u201cMonk\u201d Ellison (Wright), a frustrated novelist and college professor whose literary work earns praise but poor sales. After a bleak panel appearance, Monk returns home and, in a fit of frustration, writes a wildly exaggerated manuscript under a pseudonym. To his shock, the book is picked up by a major publisher and becomes a best\u2011seller. As Monk navigates unexpected fame and its consequences, his personal relationships and professional identity collide in unpredictable ways.<\/p>\n

Crawling through it, he finds a portal that transports him into the mind of actor John Malkovich, allowing him to experience the world through Malkovich\u2019s eyes for 15 minutes before being spit out beside the New Jersey Turnpike. Craig and a co\u2011worker start selling access to the portal, and as Craig\u2019s wife and colleagues explore it too, their relationships and lives become tangled.<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Coming to Prime Video this month is \u201cThe Zone of Interest,\u201d a gripping WWII drama that earned three Oscars at the 2024 Academy Awards, including Best International Feature Film and Best Sound. Known for its seriously unsettling storytelling and bleak visual style, Jonathan Glazer\u2019s film unnerves audiences not through what\u2019s shown, but through what is implied just beyond the frame. It\u2019s already established itself as one of the most uncompromising and challenging historical dramas of recent memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Zone of Interest\u201d follows Auschwitz concentration camp commandant Rudolf\u202fH\u00f6ss (Christian Friedel), his wife Hedwig (Sandra H\u00fcller), and their children living in a comfortable house and garden immediately adjacent to the camp during World War\u202fII. While the family tends to domestic routines like gardening and playing, sounds and signs of the camp\u2019s operations drift over their walls. The story observes their everyday life, the interactions with staff and neighbors, and the ordinary rhythms of home, with the grim reality unfolding just outside their door.<\/p>\n
