The Childhood of a Leader

From the Award Winning producers of BIRTH OF A NATION and FUNNY GAMES comes a film that is "DARK, CREEPY, AMBITIOUS" (New York Observer); "IMPRESSIVE and FASCINATING" (Los Angeles Times). A child's angelic face conceals a budding sociopath in the audacious, senses-shattering feature debut from actor Brady Corbet. A powerhouse international cast led by Robert Pattinson and Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) headlines this dark domestic nightmare. Set amidst the turmoil of World War I and its aftermath, it follows the young son of an American diplomat living in France as he learns to manipulate the adults around him-a monstrous coming of age that ominously parallels the rising tide of Fascism in Europe.
