Weekly Volcano's Review

Roger Ebert on March 10th, 2010

Favorite This Like this Movie? You can Favorite it on your Profile.

In a rural German village on the eve of World War I, bad things begin to happen.  A murder, a barn fire, a cruel trick.  Suspicion turns this way and that, but the facts don't seem to point to a single malefactor.  The movie relates what happens but isn't a whodunit, and its message is that evil cannot be completely prevented and sometimes it takes place without a rational reason.  The film has been described as about the rise of German fascism, but I think that's too simple.  It's about how the rise of fear leads to the loss of freedom. Top winner at Cannes 2009. - Four stars
