Region 2Michael Haneke won the 2009 Cannes Palm d'Or for this two-and-a-half hour bla ck and white study of German rural village life in 1913. Focusing in particular on the austere and often brutal environment of the village school, the film not only exposes the cruelty and hypocrisy of adults towards children but offers an insight into the undercurrents of patriarchy and repression that went on to shap e 20th-century Germany. As the outbreak of war draws near, a series of violent a nd unexplained events shake the small community to its core. In true Haneke styl e, the film is less concerned with providing a definitive answer to 'whodunnit' than with examining the unhealthy processes that contribute to a sick, disenfran chised society.
