Hannah Arendt was a sociopolitical philosopher who became involved, as a reporter for the New Yorker magazine, in the famous Eichman trial. I most appreciated this glimpse of her as an historical personage, and of her own most famous moment -- whether the also-famous and controversial film director Margarethe von Trotta's interpretation is the best or no.
