The schoolteacher observes, investigates and little by little discovers the incredible truth.
PRO REVIEWS ----------------------------------------
"Don't let anyone tell you too much about this spellbinder (...) a toxic blossom of images that burn into your memory. (...) This haunting film never pushes itself on you. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
----------------------------------------
"Haneke's trademark sociopolitical critique is now turned toward history, in a stunningly photographed and deliberately paced film. (...) It's a superb cinematic work and an appropriately serious one" (Peter Brunette: The Hollywood Reporter)
