Directed by Margarethe von Trotta (2012), In German; English subtitles. 110 min.

In 1961, German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt was sent by The New Yorker to cover Adolf Eichmann’s trial in Jerusalem, where he faced execution for crimes against humanity. Her report proposed “the banality of evil,” an expression which described the radical disparity between Eichmann’s underwhelming personality and the incalculable magnitude of his sins.

German director Margarethe von Trotta's film, Hannah Arendt, is a biographical portrait of its eponymous heroine, chronicling her formulation of that thesis and her experience of the context in which it was received.
