Plot
A portrait of the genius that shook the world with her discovery of “the banality of evil.” After she attends the Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial in Jerusalem, Arendt dares to write about the Holocaust in terms no one has ever heard before. Her work instantly provokes a furious scandal, and Arendt stands strong as she is attacked by friends and foes alike. But as the German-Jewish émigré also struggles to suppress her own painful associations with the past, the film exposes her beguiling blend of arrogance and vulnerability — revealing a soul defined and derailed by exile.

Hannah Arendt Quotes

The Burden of Bureaucratic Detachment

Hannah Arendt: He transported people to their deaths, but didn't feel responsible for it. Once the trains were in motion, his work was done.
Kurt Blumenfeld: So he can say he's free of guilt despite what happened to the people he transported?

The Solitude of Thought

Martin Heidegger: You say you want me to teach you how to think. Thinking … is a lonely business.
