In the 1965 Soviet film Ordinary Fascism, also known as Triumph Over Violence, director Mikhail Romm's voiceover implores the viewer to pay attention to the petit-bourgeois quality of fascism in general, and Nazism in particular. Over archival footage of German small business owners leaving their stores in uniform and hopping onto bicycles, he remarks, almost comically: 'Here is a butcher, and there goes a baker.

A simple answer is the subject of Jonathan Glazer's latest film, The Zone of Interest: land—more specifically, enough land to replicate the expansionism of American manifest destiny, to recreate the German Aryan into the fascist ideal of the Ubermensch. Over the weekend, the film won the Oscar's best international film award.
