Bleak Cinema presents The White Ribbon on 35MM

In the months leading up to World War I, a series of bizarre and violent incidents overrun a German village. The events that unfold, and the characters caught within them, unveil fundamental questions about human cruelty.

THE WHITE RIBBON is an essential work, a potent assessment of the twentieth century as much as the twenty-first. This filmic fable narrativizes how cruelty breeds, multiplies, and eats itself. Throughout his career, Michael Haneke has exercised terseness and restraint in interrogating sadism. THE WHITE RIBBON cogently exemplifies Haneke’s approach, providing one of the great cinematic statements on the banality of evil.
