The White Ribbon, for me, is one of those movies that you see and think are brilliant but can’t really pin why.

It really feels like encountering a great, lost novel.

The attention to detail, gorgeous photography and camera placement are stunning, as are the intricate, reserved performances.

I’m a Mr. Big Shot, so when I watch a movie I think, yeah, I could do that – but I watch this and am in some kind of awe.
