  • SYNOPSIS: THE SPECIALIST is an extraordingary new documenatry on the trial of Adolph Eichmann. On May 11, 1960, 40 years ago, Eichmann, a leading player in the Holocaust, is captured by the Israeli Secret Service in Argentina, where he has been living for ten years as "Ricardo Klement". One year later he is put on trial in Jerusalem, seated in a specially-designed bulletproof glass box, tried for crimes against "humanity". To record the historic trial, the Isrealis hired noted American documentarian Leo Hurwitz who shoots 350 hours of film, from which filmmakers Eyal Sivan and Rony Bauman have constructed THE SPECIALIST. SS Lieutenant Colonel Eichmann, a specialist in the transportation of freight via railroad, gives the classic excuse that he was just following orders. Following Hannah Arendt's famous Book, EICHMANN IN JERUSALEM, the film presents a devastating portrait of what she called "the banality of evil".
