The White Ribbon (Michael Haneke 2009) w/ Nathan Cowles
Felicia is joined by Nathan Cowles to discuss Michael Haneke’s dark mystery about the roots of evil in The White Ribbon (2009).
We chat about how Haneke tackles children and violence in his films and the concept of “good vs evil”. Along with the use of black and white and lack of score that help amplify the film’s message.
