    Hannah Arendt

    Margarethe von TROTTA 2012 Germany Fiction color 110min German, English, Heb BD
    Directed by New German Cinema's most prominent female filmmaker Margarethe von Trotta, the film takes a look at the life of philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt, who claimed that Eichmann did not speak or think like a genocidal maniac yet he acted like one nevertheless during war time, and coined the phrase "banality of evil" in blaming Jewish is the actual accomplice of the Holocaust. Despites the massive criticism, Hannah Arendt still fearlessly defended her own point-of-views.
    Using footage from the actual Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, von Trotta beautifully turns the often invisible passion for thought into immersive, dramatic cinema. An Official Selection at the Toronto International and New York Jewish Film Festivals, Hannah Arendt also co-stars Klaus Pohl as philosopher Martin Heidegger, Nicolas Woodeson as New Yorker editor William Shawn, and two-time Oscar Nominee Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs) as novelist Mary McCarthy.

    Director

    Margarethe von TROTTA

    Born in Berlin, Margarethe von Trotta is one of the leaders of the New German Cinema movement, as well as one of the world's most important feminist filmmakers. Since the early 1960s, von Trotta has then pursued acting, working closely with both Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Volker Schlöndorff, who later became her husband. Her first film, The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum was co-directed with Schlöndorff in 1975. Following her first independent directorial effort, The Second Awakening of Christa Klages (1978), von Trotta has gone on to make important and controversial films—often collaborating with Barbara Sukowa.
