The White Ribbon: Austrian director Michael Haneke is known for exploring the coldest regions of the human heart. In his latest film, he casts his eye on the nascent fascism of a rural German village at the onset of WWI. The film is as visually beautiful as it is morally unsettling. The White Ribbon was awarded the 2009 Palme d'Or, the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival, and you can expect it to be a serious contender for Best Foreign Film this Oscar season.
