Foreign Film: White Ribbon

Watch the Trailer on YouTube

Like a Twilight Zone episode directed by Antonioni, The White Ribbon weaves an

These occurrences are sinister and cruel and often involve the children of the village--not merely as victims but also as perpetrators. At least that's the way it appears.
