Acclaimed auteur Michael Haneke (Hidden, Funny Games) returns to his classic themes of guilt, denial and violence in The White Ribbon, a haunting and provocative feature which was awarded the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. To celebrate, we have a Michael Haneke box set with 10 DVDs, plus a pair of tickets to see The White Ribbon at the BFI.
A village in Protestant northern Germany, 1913-1914. On the eve of World War I. The story of the children and teenagers of a choir run by the village schoolteacher, and their families: the baron, the steward, the pastor, the doctor, the midwife, the tenant farmers. Strange accidents occur and gradually take on the character of a punishment ritual. Who is behind it all?
The village schoolteacher observes, investigates and little by little discovers the incredible truth. Are we being asked to consider whether these events heralded something that would explode years later with the rise of Nazi Germany? Did these events contain the germs of the tragedies that followed? Artificial Eye will release The White Ribbon at the Curzon Mayfair and across the UK on November 13. Competition closes on December 2, 2009. A complete retrospective of Haneke's films will screen at BFI Southbank from November 5-30.
