Director: Margarethe von Trotta, 113 min., 2012 German with englisch subtitlesIn 1960, philosopher Hannah Arendt travels to Jerusalem to observe the trial of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann. She expects to encounter a monster – but instead meets an unassuming bureaucrat. This experience gives rise to her famous analysis of the ‘banality of evil’. The film paints a thoughtful portrait of a courageous and determined woman who is not afraid to publicly express controversial ideas.As a biographical feature film, it condenses Arendt's observations and assessments of the Eichmann trial into a dynamically narrated picture of an exceptional intellectual of the 20th century. In addition to her intellectual brilliance, the intimate depictions of the New York milieu of German-Jewish emigrants in the early 1960s are also impressive – a fascinating look at a woman who made history.With an introduction by historian Hanco Jürgens.In collaboration with the Duitsland Instituut Amsterdam.
