The White Ribbon (German Films 70)

“I don‘t know, but if I remember correctly, it seemed strange to me at the time that the children in Klara‘s group didn‘t disperse after class as usual and for everyone to go home. Instead, they all headed off together towards the end of the village,“ says the narrator at the beginning of the “German children‘s story“ whose protagonists are children, but has a focus on what they have later become as adults. THE WHITE RIBBON is set in a Protestant village in northern Germany, where inexplicable accidents occur on the eve of the First World War. The seemingly unrelated attacks and vandalism turn the lives of the inhabitants upside down... Austrian director Michael Haneke's German film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2009 and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2010.
