About this product

Product Information

In a village in Protestant northern Germany, on the eve of World War I, the children of a church and school run by the village schoolteacher and their families experience a series of bizarre incidents that inexplicably assume the characteristics of a punishment ritual. Who could be responsible for such bizarre transgressions? Leonie Benesch, Josef Bierbichler, and Rainer Bock star in this period drama directed by Michael Haneke (HIDDEN, FUNNY GAMES) which won the Palm d'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

ReviewsVariety - Immaculately crafted in beautiful black-and-white and entirely absorbing through its longish running time, Time Out - A portrait of a place that is so rich, so detailed and so full of telling relationships and behaviour that you feel you have gained an understanding of the very essence of these people, Hollywood Reporter - It's clear that this portrait of a sick society is meant to explain, at least partially, the horrendous war that breaks out at the very end of the film, and the fascism that quickly followed in its wake, The Guardian - Has an absolute confidence and mastery of its own cinematic language, and the performances Haneke elicits from his first-rate cast, particularly the children, are eerily perfect, Daily Telegraph - A surprisingly affecting forensic study of social breakdown

  • Masterpiece

    Michael Haneke is a master of films which do not end when the film ends but stay with you and inform and infuse your mind with something akin to a real life experience. No neatly wrapped conclusions, or infact, any conclusions. Draw what you will from each of his works - there is so much laid out for you. The White Ribbon brings to mind Wordsworth's line "The child is the father of the man", but no rainbows here.

  • A VERY GOOD AND UNUSUAL FILM

    For Haneke's admirers this is definitely 'a must' piece. For serious cinephiles too.
