For once, Haneke doesn’t force the issues he raises, and his poetic, haunting essay is all the better for it.

This is a profoundly disquieting movie, superbly acted and directed. Its sinister riddle glitters more fiercely each time I watch it.

...essentially an inquiry into the roots of a certain kind of evil, the sort committed en masse when old ways of thinking start to fall into hypocrisy and irrelevance, and crueler forms start to take their place.

Michael Haneke løfter med Det hvide bånd sine dystre studier af den menneskelige psyke ud af de tidligere mindre films overskuelige rammer og har begået sit mest komplette værk til dato.

...gripande och drabbande. Man sugs in i en värld där människor trycks ner av överheten, i synnerhet den militant fromma protestantiska kyrkan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The White Ribbon about? Toggle content

In a small, rural town in Northern Germany on the eve of World War I, strange and inexplicable events begin to occur. A group of children and teenagers, led by the village schoolteacher and their families, become embroiled in a series of mysterious accidents and crimes. As the events escalate, it becomes clear that someone - or something - is targeting the community's most vulnerable members. But who or what is behind these sinister acts? The schoolteacher, driven by his own moral compass, sets out to uncover the truth and bring justice to the town. Through his investigation, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten to tear apart the very fabric of their tight-knit community. As tensions rise and paranoia takes hold, everyone becomes a suspect. Will they be able to uncover the truth before it's too late? And will they be able to stop whatever evil force is behind these events before it destroys them all?
