Movie Info

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 ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann in The New Yorker-controversial both for her portrayal of Eichmann and the Jewish councils-introduced her now-famous concept of the "Banality of Evil."

A watchable, even suspenseful portrait of a woman who spends most of the film smoking cigarettes, sitting at typewriters or sparring at dinner parties.

Audience Reviews for Hannah Arendt

I was not viewing this movie from afar, but feeling the movie, feeling Hannah Arendt and the passionate way by which she approached the trials of Eichmann, in search for truth and understanding of a dark and horrible period in history. The usage of actual Eichmann trials, nicely weaved with the narrative, brings the story and its reality closer the viewer, together with Barbara Sukowa's great performance.

This topic deserves a good movie. This isn't it. There are some strong performances and some good scenes; particularly effective are the trial segment with cleverly inter-cut trial footage and Arendt's speech to her students. Much of the movie is far too contrived and artificial, though, and some of the performances are wince-inducingly bad.
