Hannah Arendt

The sublime Barbara Sukowa reteams with director Margarethe von Trotta (Vision, Rosa Luxemburg) for her brilliant new biopic of influential German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt. Arendt's reporting on the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann in The New Yorker-controversial both for her portrayal of the former SS officer and the Jewish councils-introduced her now-famous concept of the "banality of evil." Using archival footage from the Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, von Trotta beautifully turns the often-invisible passion for thought into immersive, dramatic cinema. Official Selection at Toronto International and New York Jewish Film Festivals, Hannah Arendt co-stars Klaus Pohl as philosopher Martin Heidegger, Nicholas Woodeson as New Yorker editor William Shawn, and two-time Oscar Nominee Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs, The Woman in Black) as novelist Mary McCarthy.
