Eichmann

Eichmann (2007) is a historical drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Robert Young. It rebuilds the interrogation that ran through an Israeli winter across 1960 and 1961, just before one of the Holocaust's chief organisers stood trial.

Police captain Avner Less (Troy Garity) sits across the table from the man who shipped millions to the camps. As Adolf Eichmann, Thomas Kretschmann stays calm and courteous, describing himself as a clerk who merely followed orders — and that flatness chills more than any outburst. At home, Less's wife (Franka Potente) cannot grasp how he endures the sessions. Stephen Fry appears as the prosecutor building the case.

The script draws on the real transcripts Less recorded over eleven months. This is less a manhunt — Eichmann was already smuggled out of Argentina before the film opens — than a study of how an ordinary bureaucrat bargains with his own conscience. Stream Eichmann online on iFILM.
