We’re embarking on a run of must-see films – you really owe it to yourself to catch all four if you haven’t crept in early already! The White Ribbon, Disgrace, A Prophet, and Departures. The White Ribbon and A Prophet being rivals for the Best Foreign Language Oscar this year (‘tho both were beaten), Departures was the Oscar winner last year (and KFF11 Audience Award winner!), and Disgrace the film of the Booker Prize-winning novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author J M Coetzee.
It all starts on Sunday with The White Ribbon, winner of the Palme d’Or, Best FL Film in the Golden Globes, nominated for Oscar and Bafta Awards. Peter Bradshaw says it's ‘Profoundly disquieting, superbly acted and directed, its sinister riddle glitters more fiercely each time I watch it.’
