HANNAH ARENDT can be actually a portrait of the genius that shook the world using her discovery of"the banality of evil." Following she hears the Nazi Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem, Arendt faked to come up with the Holocaust when compared with no one has heard before. A scandal that is mad instantly provokes, and Arendt stands strong because she is assaulted by friends and foes alike. But as the German-Jewish fights to suppress her own associations before, the film exposes her beguiling blend of bitterness and vulnerability -- revealing that the soul derailed and characterized by exile.
