The White Ribbon
by Michael Haneke
A series of inexplicable, malevolent, and tragic events occur in a small German village in the years immediately preceding the First World War. Director Michael Haneke's unsettling movie evokes an eerie and pervading sense of menace that hangs over the townspeople in much the same way that the specter of war hangs over the world. Beautifully photographed by Christian Berger, who received an Oscar nomination for his work. The White Ribbon won the Palme d'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Reviewed by Alden Graves |
