From July 1913 to the outbreak of World War I, a series of incidents takes place in a German village: A horse trips on a wire and throws the rider; a woman falls to her death through rotted planks; the local baron's son is hung upside down in a mill; parents slap and bully their children; a man is cruel to his long-suffering lover; another sexually abuses his daughter. People disappear. A callow teacher who courts a nanny in the baron's household narrates the story and tries to investigate the connections among these accidents and crimes. What is foreshadowed? Are the children holy innocents? God may be in His heaven, but all is not right with the world; the center cannot hold.
Leave your thoughts about The White Ribbon.
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsHaneke’s latest is essentially an inquiry into the roots of a certain kind of evil. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirShot in spectacular black-and-white by cinematographer Christian Berger, and marvelously acted by a first-rate German ensemble, The White Ribbon captures a mood of thickening tension and mounting violence. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film is visually masterful. It's in black and white, of course. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe ends remain loose in The White Ribbon.’ But that lack of closure is thrilling. Haneke lays his movie and its mysteries at our feet, leaving us to ask, “What in tarnation?’’ |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThe White Ribbon is a ghost story without a ghost, a whodunnit without a denouement, a historical parable without a lesson, and for two and a half hours, this unforgettably disturbing and mysterious film leads its viewers alongside an abyss of anxiety. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleWhat makes The White Ribbon a big movie, an important movie, is that Haneke's point extends beyond pre-Nazi Germany. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonA stark, contemplative and hauntingly brilliant film. |
| The Hollywood ReporterPeter BrunetteIt's a superb cinematic work and an appropriately serious one, given its subject matter and its intentions. |
| TimeRichard CorlissA kind of mashup of "Our Town" and "Village of the Damned," the film is both draining and enthralling. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanDetailed yet oblique, leisurely but compelling, perfectly cast and irreproachably acted, the movie has a seductively novelistic texture complete with a less-than-omniscient narrator. |
