Dima Barch Presents THE WHITE RIBBON

ABOUT THE FILM:

In German with English subtitles.

On the eve of World War I, paranoia builds among the residents of a Protestant village in Northern Germany where strange and violent accidents are taking place. While some of the local powers that be meet grisly fates, others, including a draconian pastor, remain unscathed. Drawing heavily from puritanical rites and religious motifs, Michael Haneke’s Palme d’Or-winning wartime drama explores the psychological underpinnings of terrorism and the ultimate unintelligibility of acts driven by hate, fear, and ideological control.
