    Hannah Arendt

    I wondered if anyone else has seen this film. I saw it yesterday in Leeds, more from an interest in Arendt and Heidegger than in filmic matters generally. I felt it treated serious matters seriously. That is not intended as an absolutely positive comment, as I think it didn't quite succeed in catching fire artistically, even in the portrayal of the final passionate public defence by Arendt of her commentary on Eichmann. I also wondered whether it displayed its intellectual hostility to Arendt's critics, even Hans Jonas (I think it was him), a little too unambiguously.

    According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

          No problem: I specialize in being unintentionally cryptic. But I will be interested to see if anyone out there has seen the film. Two showings only in Leeds.

            Oh, that film about Hannah Arendt (sorry, aka ). I'm not a cinema-goer but that really would interest me.



            Gloucester?
            It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
