The Childhood of a Leader (tt2815902), explores the traces of the future in the childhood of a fascist leader. American actor Brady Corbet follows a powerful diplomat, his religious wife, and their son who have come from the US to France in 1918 to negotiate the Treaty of Versailles, which will end World War I. The film particularly focuses on the increasingly unruly behavior of the privileged young boy, which foreshadows his inclination towards fascism. With music composed by Scott Walker, this movie is a loose adaptation of Jean-Paul Sartre's short story of the same name and features a brilliant cast including Bérénice Bejo, Liam Cunningham, and Robert Pattinson. Set in a dark atmosphere, it provides viewers with the opportunity to analyze a character who will make decisions that will eventually affect millions of people. | Submitted by paris-texas
