Well acted, documented and filmed, Eichmann gives a keen dramatic account of the monster that tried to destroy a race. The DVD allows you to take a closer look at this appalling criminal during an interview just prior to his trial in Israel.
It’s almost strange to see a back and white film these days, but The WhiteRibbon could not have been as entertaining in color in which it was originally shot. In B&W we are able to feel the chill exuded by the disturbing plot and envision the era wrought with tough times. Taking on a great deal of angst the storyline tends to bring one down however, so be prepared to deal with the dark mood.
