Foreign Film Friday: "The White Ribbon" by Michael Haneke
2026-02-06 19:00 - 21:30 UTC | Flood Gallery Fine Art Center, 802 Fairview Rd. Suite 1200, Asheville, NC, 28803, United States
(2009, 2h 24m, Germany, Mystery/Thriller by Michael Haneke)
Set in a village in Protestant northern Germany on the eve of World War I, THE WHITE RIBBON delineates a microcosm of society: the schoolteacher, the pastor, the local aristocracy, the steward, the doctor, the midwife, the tenant farmers, and their extended families. Increasingly frequent bizarre incidents gradually take on the character of a punishment ritual. Who is responsible? Haneke’s apocalyptic vision takes on classic dimensions in this elegant, black and white drama, likened to the most mesmerizing films of Carl Dreyer.
Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes and nominated for two Academy Awards
