Hannah Arendt

Hannah Arendt

DVD - 2013

"Arendt's reporting on the 1961 trial of ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann in The New Yorker--controversial both for her portrayal of Eichmann and the Jewish councils--introduced her now-famous concept of the 'banality of evil.' Using footage from the actual Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, [director] von Trotta ... turns the often-invisible passion for thought into immersive, dramatic cinema."--
