Hannah Arendt


Synopsis

Hannah Arendt, a German Jewish Philosopher and political theorist, remains one of the most controversial figures in modern intellectual history. Arendt's reporting on the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann for the New Yorker 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, this fascinating film starring Barbara Sukowa depicts how Arendt went from being a respected Columbia University professor to one of the most reviled critical thinkers in America.

Winner of the German Oscar for Best Actress.
