www.imdb.com

Directed by Margarethe von Trotta. With Barbara Sukowa, Axel Milberg, Janet McTeer, Julia Jentsch. A look at the life of philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt, who reported for The New Yorker on the war crimes trial of the Nazi Adolf Eichmann.

 

"Arendt raised the question of whether evil is radical or simply a function of thoughtlessness, a tendency of ordinary people to obey orders and conform to mass opinion without a critical evaluation of the consequences of their actions and inaction. Arendt was sharply critical of the way the trial was conducted in Israel." She coined the phrase, "the banality of evil."
