The Childhood of a Leader (2015, UK/France) cert. 12A (part-subtitled)

Director: Brady Corbet

Stars: Liam Cunningham, Bérénice Bejo, Robert Pattinson, Stacy Martin

What happens to a lonely little boy, living in a big house in a foreign country?

While his American father (Cunningham) plays an ineffectual bit-part in the Versailles peace conference, and his German mother (Bejo) shows little interest in him, young Prescott drifts gradually to the dark side.

Corbet’s debut feature is both a handsome period drama and a wonderfully sinister psychological mystery.  Newcomer Tom Sweet gives an excellent performance as the monster-to-be.
