This edition's Choice Chop is written by Phil on Film. He had the chance to see The White Ribbon and I can barely contain my envy since Michael Haneke is one of my favorite directors (not to mention it won the Palmes d'Or this year!). His review is fantastic. He thoroughly examines many of the films concepts and aspects and intelligently discusses them, and the films cast and crew. Here's an excerpt:
"Throughout the past decade, Michael Haneke has been operating at such a high level it almost seems redundant to comment on the flawless direction of his latest film The White Ribbon. However, even by this filmmaker's intimidating standards, this is a stunningly well-made film, perhaps the most brilliantly crafted of the director's career."You can read Phil's full review here. It's definitely worth taking the time to check it out.
