Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Thomas Kretschmann has played Nazis in at least five films; he was born in East Germany and has called it 'uncomfortably easy' to embody their chilling ordinariness.
The film adapts real interrogation transcripts from 1960, conducted by Mossad officer Avner Less — whose actual recordings formed the basis of Hannah Arendt's 'Eichmann in Jerusalem.'
