| Rated R 144 min. Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Language Film- Nominated for 2 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film, and Best Cinematography - This film explores life in a small Protestant village in northern Germany, just before the advent of World War I. Strictly hierarchical, an inhuman moral code holds sway, especially over the children, who are constantly punished for the slightest infraction. The women are similarly brutalized and under the thumb of the village's unabashed patriarchy but the men engage in acts of evil and cruelty that are kept quiet. One day, the order of things begins to unravel and society further deteriorates into war and fascism. Starring Susanne Lothar, Steffi Kuhnert, and Ulrich Tukur. Directed by Michael Haneke. |
