"In 2010, The White Ribbon became a major event in auteur cinema, both worldwide and in Lithuania. This film also left an indelible impression on me, not only because of its cinematic language (black and white imagery, precise shot composition, ascetic sound), but also because of its compelling study of human actions – evil, fear, violence, power. The film is often referred to as a study of the origins and causes of National Socialism, so watching it today involuntarily raises the question – where do the roots of evil in current events lie?"
