Pure evil...

Rating: 6/10 (28 April 2020)

"The White Ribbon" - "Das weiße Band - Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte" is a Drama - Mystery movie in which we watch the people of a small village in the north part of Germany during World War I being surprised by the occurrence of some strange events. The church plays a major role in the punishments of children or people but they still cannot find who is responsible for these strange events.
I had high expectations from this movie but I was a bit disappointed because it was too long and in some points it was a bit boring. Despite that I liked it and I enjoyed the interpretations of both Burghart Klaußner who played as The Pastor and Christian Friedel who played as The School Teacher. The direction which was made by Michael Haneke who is also the writer was very good and he presented very well and as truly as possible the stereotypes of that time in combination with the condition of the society and its rules.
