This film, The White Ribbon/Das Weisse Band, was released here in the UK on November 13th but has only just received a release in the cinema near me. I heard some very good things about this film, it won the Palm D’Or at Cannes, and so when I learned I had a chance to see the film I jumped at the opportunity, though not quite literally.
I know there will be people either reading this on my blog, or at some later point at More To The Game, who will be scared by this film. Not because of the content, but because it is a German film. A German film in German with English subtitles. And it is in black and white. Those people who loved Transformers and 2012. Who are pant-wettingly excited that avatar is close. They will be so scared they won’t see this film. We have a word for these people. Philistines.
