Director: Eyal Sivan
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Sivan takes archive footage of the 1961 Jerusalem trial of the Nazi bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann for organising the transport of racial deportees to the death camps, and edits it into narrative shape with the help of Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. A slow, detailed haul, but it builds a compelling portrait.Author: NB
