  • Summary: Eyal Silvan's documentary of the 1961 trial of former SS official Adolf Eichmann, cut from 350 hours of footage, details how three Isreali judges had to determine over the course of eight months the extent to which Eichmann (known as the "specialist" for his transportation of the Reich's Jewish population) could be held legally responsible for the deaths of millions.

  1. An astonishing human, political, and historical document.
  2. This lone, fallen Nazi's obsessive distance from his actions is enough to give The Specialist a lingering chill.
  3. What's most conspicuously missing is the kind of background information needed to assess many of Eichmann's statements.
