Max Hiller
Max Hiller is a German actor primarily known for his role in the multi-award-winning 2009 film "The White Ribbon" (Das weiße Band), directed by Michael Haneke.
In the film, Hiller portrays Ernst, the pastor's eldest son, a key character who embodies the ambiguous innocence and potential cruelty of the village children. His performance, characterized by an intense and often unsettling presence, significantly contributed to the film's dark and mysterious atmosphere, which was awarded the Palme d'Or at Cannes and nominated for an Oscar.
Although his filmography is limited and his role in "The White Ribbon" remains the most prominent of his early career, Hiller left a lasting impression with his memorable performance, often silent but charged with tension, typical of the characters that populate Haneke's austere universe.
