20 x ‘Hannah Arendt’ In-Season Double Passes, courtesy of Curious Films
Win tickets to the biopic of this controversial figure.
Written and directed by Margarethe von Trotta, one of New German Cinema's most respected filmmakers, Hannah Arendt is as compelling and polarising as its eponymous protagonist. Arendt, masterfully played by Barbara Sukowa, is sent by The New Yorker to cover the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. The article generates a storm of criticism by the intellectual and Jewish communities, labelling her cold, heartless and a self-hating Jew. Von Trotta's vision of Arendt offers understanding into the formulation of her ideas - in particular what Arendt termed 'the banality of evil' - which later culminated in her seminal thesis of the same name.
