Eichmann in Jerusalem
Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil is a 1963 book by political theorist Hannah Arendt. Arendt, a Jew who fled Germany during Adolf Hitler's rise to power, reported on Adolf Eichmann's trial for The New Yorker. A revised and enlarged edition was published in 1964.
Overview
Arendt's subtitle famously introduced the phrase "the banality of evil," which also serves as the final words of the book. In part, at least, the phrase refers to Eichmann's deportment at the trial as the man displayed neither guilt for his actions nor hatred for those trying him, claiming he bore no responsibility because he was simply "doing his job"

I know, it is strange, to do a excerpt from Wikipedia to describe a movie, and for the life of me, it is the best way, I can think of, to, describe this movie...
I am not sure, if Warner Bros know what they have, here, in this movie.
This is 2019's A Clockwork Orange (1971). It is THAT definitive...
It is Dark.
It is Intense.
This is a far cry Joker, compared with what Jared Leto's attempt at the role.
There is NOTHING comic book about this.
Joaquin Phoenix, not quite sure how to state this, of you know the song, Everybody Hurts, you will know what I mean.
He has known pain and suffering in his life. I am NOT a Joaquin Phoenix expert, and have to add, I do know what he was with River Phoenix when he O.D. and died. Maybe that is what he was channeling when he took on this role.
It is breathtaking...
There are so many maybes in this movie

This is a really excellent and difficult movie to sit through, it is THAT dark.It is almost unfathomable that the director of The Hangover (2009) did this. It further proves that humor and horror do have similar beats..
The cherry on top, Robert De Niro.
This movie, you need to experience for yourself.
I humble submit to you, my two sen.
