Hannah Arendt

A brilliant biopic about the influential German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt (Barbara Sukowa) whose controversial reporting on the 1961 trial of ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann in The New Yorker introduced her now-famous concept of the “Banality of Evil.” With footage from the trial woven into a narrative spanning three countries, director Margarethe von Trotta turns the often-invisible passion for thought into immersive, dramatic cinema.
