Das weiße Band, Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte( literally," The White Ribbon, a German Children's Story") darkly depicts society and family in a northern German village just before World War I and, according to Haneke," is about the roots of evil. Whether it ’s religious or political terrorism, it ’s the same thing." The White Ribbon is a 2009 black- and- white German- language drama film written and directed by Michael Haneke. The film premiered at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival in May 2009 where it won the Palme d' Or, followed by positive reviews and several other major awards, including the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The film also received two nominations at the 82nd Academy Awards in 2009: Best Foreign Language Film( representing Germany) and Best Cinematography( Christian Berger). <SEP> At a young age, Cozzi became a fan of science fiction and began his career as an overseas correspondent for Western film magazines.

A recent DVD release of her 1975 film" The Killer Must Kill Again", the most notable work of Luigi Cozzi( a friend and associate of giallo film master Dario Argento) has presented her controversial work in that more obscure representative of the Italian horror genre. Cozzi mentions on his DVD commentary for the film how Galbó was uncomfortable with the film's most disturbing scene, the killer's rape of her kidnapped and abused character. Galbó also has a significant role in another boarding school shocker, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's 1969 Spanish film" The House That Screamed". <SEP> His work often examines social issues and depicts the feelings of estrangement experienced by individuals in modern society.
