On reading an interview of French actress “Elsa Zylberstein – pure héroϊne” in Aéroports de Paris magazine.

Part 2

I’m always getting ready for something. In September, I’ll be playing Hannah Arendt in Antoine Rault’s “Le Démon d’Hannah.” She was Heidegger’s pupil and they had an affair. When she returns to Friborg much later, she wonders how she could have fallen in love with a Nazi.

You’ll come to know how Hannah fell in love
        With Heidegger, before you even enter her.
But can you be the pupil, still, with love
        Unknowing in her eyes, while knowing her?
