New Hannah Arendt Film is a Gem

Movies post by Mary Creighton on March 5, 2013 - 12:22pm; tagged 20th Century, author, Barbara Sukowa, Germany, Hannah Arendt, Israeli Trial, Margarethe von Trotta, philosophy, Portland International Film Festival.

Photo from Hannah Arendt FilmI can often gauge the quality of a film by the length of time I sit at its closure reading the credits. When a film is great, I want to make sure that every person with a hand in the film was rightfully recognized. After director Margarethe von Trotta’s new release Hannah Arendt, I sat in the theater until there were no more names to read.

New German Cinema heavyweight director von Trotta turns a biographical lens toward the lauded German-American political theorist Hannah Arendt.

This informative, lively film manages to not stray into being too sentimental as it follows Arendt (Barbara Sukowa) through the Nazi trial that influenced her life’s work.  The film explores how this political theorist became the subject of both controversy and accolades in dark times.

Recently, there has been a renaissance in Beauvoir studies dedicated to fully exploring her prolific body of work.
