Review of The Eichmann Show

I'm a huge Freeman fan but this is definitely not going to be THE movie about the Eichmann trial. Behind the scenes actually raises some reflections on the morality and ultimate purpose of television, but it doesn't do it in a particularly interesting way. Real footage takes up too much space (we're talking borderling documentary territory) and the mystery behind Eichmann's impassive and slightly arrogant face remains untouched. The director who wants to go beyond the cliché that this man was a simple bureaucrat (there are updated biographies that deal with the character more completely) will make a bombshell movie.
