Academy Award Nominee, BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM, BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

In a village in Protestant northern Germany, on the eve of World War I, the children of a church and school run by the village schoolteacher and their families experience a series of incidents that inexplicably assume the characteristics of a punishment ritual. Who could be responsible for such bizarre transgressions?  Michael Haneke's new film won the Palme d'or at the 2009 Cannes Film Fest.   visit site
