Quote:
The White Ribbon is a 2009 Austrian-German film, released in black and white, written and directed by Michael Haneke. The drama darkly depicts society and family in a northern German village just before World War I. According to Haneke, the film is about "the origin of every type of terrorism, be it of political or religious nature."

Das weiße Band, Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte (literally, "The White Ribbon, a German Children's Story") premiered at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival in May 2009 and won the Palme d'Or, followed by positive reviews and several other major awards, including the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The film received two nominations for Academy Awards: 2009 Best Foreign Language Film (representing Germany) and 2009 Best Cinematography (Christian Berger).

Haneke at his most reserved, and also perhaps his best.

Definitely a great film. It has more...heart than Funny Games and Caché. Those were hugely compelling movies, to be sure, but this one does more than provoke and baffle and disturb. It's also very poignant.

The Blu-ray is SO gorgeous, by the way. This movie is total cinematography and production design candy, lol.

I'm holding out hope for a Criterion release.
