The White Ribbon (2009) short review

A very arty, slow moving film that requires some patience, but will absolutely blow you away. It’s a very small story set in a small village in rural Germany right before World War I, with very large implications for totalitarianism and society in general. The costumes are appropriately subdued and simple, but they suit the design and atmosphere of the film.
