On Sandra Hüller

Sandra Hüller is a pretty great foreign actress, and has some wonderful performances in a few noteworthy films, two of which show up on the academy award foreign film list: Anatomy of a Fall, and the Zone of Interest. She has a wide range, being tough, emotional, even whimsical. In Anatomy, she plays a mother and a wife defending her honor and innocence, and in Zone, Sandra plays the spouse of a conflicted but certainly guilty Nazi war criminal, as she spends days at home, watching her children, chatting with friends, gardening and blithely ignoring the concentration camp only feet from her front door.

Little known fact: Sandra is also a licensed fork lift operator, which was important for her work in In the Aisles, which was a heartwarming yet sad film about the people who everyday stock and people a typical grocer in some unnamed German town.
