Um þessa kvikmynd

In a village in Protestant northern Germany, on the eve of World War I, the children of a church and school run by the village schoolteacher and their families experience a series of bizarre incidents that inexplicably assume the characteristics of a punishment ritual. Who could be responsible for such bizarre transgressions? 2009 X Filme Creative Pool, Wega Film, Les Films du Losange, Lucky Red, ARD Degeto, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Osterreichischer Rundfunk Fernsehen and France 3 Cinema.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

This is film of the cruel absurd, of the ubiquity and banality of evil. It is Antonin Artaud in moving pictures. It is horrifyingly recognizable and necessarily eye-closing. One is awed at the genius of creating beauty out of monstrosity. One is also ashamed.
