Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

No, I haven´t seen it in full: only some snippets here and there, but...

...what I´ve seen I have liked a lot, as it depicts the banality of evil (Hannah Arendt coined that in her book "Eichmann in Jerusalem", and I find it to be a really well chosen expression: those bastards were never great, never exceptional, just banal people doing a lot of evil from their bloody banality...) extremely well, and maybe if you look at this film through these glasses you´ll find more merit in it.

My suspect is that Bruno Ganz chose his way of acting in order to enhance, through its apparent dullness, this banality factor, as a much needed counterpoint to other films depicting AH and his bunch as people over the top as masters of evil.

Anyhow, I´ll see it asap, and will come back with some comments.

Regards

BF
