Title: Well Worth The Wait
Review: The White Ribbon is a slow, long and tedious film that tests your patience through grounded and well thought out shots, minimal facial expressions and dialogue moving act a snail's pace. But, in spite, or perhaps because of this, after the long and ardous journey you make following the characters, the ending is sublime, moving and deeply layered in history. As the film comes to a close, the difficulty you faced while watching this exquisite film pays off with a lesson about fascism and how, in spite of humanity's best efforts, it can lay siege on innocent people. I imagine that this film did not win for best foreign feature for the earlier part of my review, but for those who managed to gain all that was offered by Haneke in his portrait of early 20th century Germany, the lack of an oscar becomes meaningless because it is clear the timelessness of the film will prevail.
