The White Ribbon

Writer/director Michael Haneke ("Funny Games") sets his latest unnerving drama inside a small German village in the years immediately preceding the First World War, a peaceful hamlet where a series of bizarre and violent events sets the inhabitants on edge. Grim mistrust takes hold as the townsfolk attempt to continue their normal lives and discovery of the malefactors proves maddeningly elusive. Ulrich Tukur, Christian Friedel, and Leonie Benesch star. 144 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: German DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurette. In German with English subtitles.
