We just saw the movie Hannah Arendt, and it is extremely good - possibly the best thing I've seen this year. Margarethe von Trotta's direction and script are excellent, and Barbara Sukowa is terrific in the title role.
History to listen to as I bake chicken pies.Brilliantly narrated by Wanda McCaddonNatural follow up to Hunting Eichmann by Neal Bascombe (I see the 'add book' has broken now!)
