Starkly solemn and unsparingly sinister, Das Weisse Band is a gorgeously shot and masterful work by an exceptional director who is potentially my favourite (Akira Kurosawa, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Aleksandr Sokurov, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Áron Gauder, Brad Anderson, Chang-Dong Lee, Coen Brothers, Daisuke Gotô, David Cronenberg, David Fincher, David Lynch, Fernando Meirelles, Fritz Lang, Fruit Chan, Gen Sekiguchi, Hayao Miyazaki, Hiroshi Inagaki, Hiroshi Teshigahara, Hirozaku Kore-Eda, Il-Gon Song, Ingmar Bergman, Ji-Woon Kim, Joon-Ho Bong, Joon-Hwan Jang, Juzo Itami, Kaneto Shindo, Katsuhiro Otomo, Kazuaki Kiriya, Kenji Mizoguchi, Kenji Yokoi, Ki-Duk Kim, Kinji Fukasaku, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Koji Wakamatsu, Kouki Tange, Mamoru Oshii, Masaki Kobayashi, Masaaki Yuasa, Michael Arias, Minoru Kawasaki, Nagisa Oshima, Nobuhiro Suwa, Pedro Almodóvar, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, Peter Greenaway, Peter Weir, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Roman Polanski, Seijun Suzuki, Shinji Somai, Shinya Tsukamoto, Shohei Imamura, Shuji Terayama, Sogo Ishii, Stanley Kubrick, Takashi Miike, Takashi Shimizu, Terry Gilliam, Todd Solondz, Toshiaki Toyoda, Tsui Hark, Werner Herzog, Wong Kar-Wai, Yang Zhang and Yasuzo Masumura notwithstanding). But back to Haneke. Das Weisse Band is a powerfully beautiful, quietly terrifying film. Haneke at his finest. Very recommended.
Directed by Michael Haneke
