My personal experience with Austrian helmer Michael Haneke is basically zero. Outside of catching his remake of his very own Funny Games last year (which I hated) I haven’t seen any of his films although much of his works has been well received, such as his upcoming release, the Cannes Film Festival Palme D’Or winner The White Ribbon set for a limited December 30 release from Sony Pictures Classics.
The film ceners on the strange events happening at a rural school in the north of Germany during the year 1913, which seem to be ritual punishment. Does this affect the school system, and how does the school have an influence on fascism?
Check out the international trailer directly below and see what you think. Any Haneke fans out there that have any suggestions where I should start when it comes to the helmer’s prior works?
