PARIS (AP) – Michael Haneke’s award-winning “The White Ribbon,” which won the top prize at Cannes last year, will compete with another prize winner, the melancholic Peruvian drama “Milk of Sorrow,” and three other films from Argentina, France and Israel for the Oscar for best foreign language film.

Set in pre-World War I Germany, “The White Ribbon” is a stark black-and-white morality tale. Young Peruvian director Claudia Llosa’s “Milk of Sorrow,” which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, is the story of an indigenous woman suffering from a mysterious illness.

Another South American feature, “El Secreto de Sus Ojos,” (“The Secret in their Eyes”) by Argentine director Juan Jose Campanella, is the story of a detective who plunges into a cold murder case.

Acclaimed French director Jacques Audiard’s prison drama “Un Prophet” (“A Prophet”) and “Ajami,” an Israeli film about life in a Jewish-Arab neighborhood in the Mediterranean city of Jaffa, also are in the running for the prize.
