Brand New International “The White Ribbon” Trailer

Check out new international trailer for Michael Haneke’s Cannes-winning masterpiece, “The White Ribbon“

“The White Ribbon” focuses on a rural German school in 1913, which seems to be the sight of ritual punishment.  The story of the children and teenagers of a choir run by the village schoolteacher, and their families: the baron, the steward, the pastor, the doctor, the midwife, the tenant farmers. Strange accidents occur and gradually take on the character of a punishment ritual. Does the ritual punishment have an affect on the school system and is this a precursor to the rise of fascism?

The movie stars Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Tukur, Theo Trebs, Michael Schenk, Leonie Benesch, Josef Bierbichler, Rainer Bock, Christian Friedel, Burghart Klaussner, Steffi Kuhnert and Ursina Lardi.
