Mmmm, nothing goes better with eggnog and gingerbread cookies than a somber, black-and-white, score-less, bleakest-of-the-bleak cinematic portrayal of the long slow march unto Socialist despair... via DH:
"The trade also reports that Sony Pictures Classics will release Michael Haneke's Palme d'Or-winning "The White Ribbon" in New York and Los Angeles on December 25th.
Shot in black-and-white the film takes place in a German village right before World War I."
I'm glad we have a date now, finally, but it seems rather ridiculous that they're making us wait until Christmas day when the things's done and just sitting there waiting to depress us all right now. And besides that, who - besides me, always me - the hell wants to watch this movie on Christmas Day? Jesus you'd have to be sick - me, always me - to want to spend your holiday feeling what Haneke specializes in making his audience feel. Sigh. Sign me up!

I know that Artificial Eye have bought it for release here in the UK but no date on their website that I can see. I'm sincerely hoping that it'll be before Christmas, that seems sooo long to wait.
