Germany (2013) Dir: Margarethe von Trotta.

A brilliant, award-winning biopic of the influential German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist. Arendt’s reporting on the 1961 trial of ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann in The New Yorker introduced her now-famous concept “the banality of evil.” Using footage from the Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, von Trotta turns the often-invisible passion for thought into immersive, dramatic cinema.English and German with English subtitles. Unrated. 113 minutes. Blu-ray.
Presented in collaboration with the Anthropology department.
