Review of "The White Ribbon"
Full review
B&W photography, elliptically framed, voice-over narrator (the village schoolteacher) provides periperially invovled observation of the unfolding events. Excellent acting throughout. Evocation of a near feudal social order and strict protestant (lutherian, presbytarian) repression
