Savage Grace |
Like his debut SWOON, Tom Kalin's SAVAGE GRACE is based on a shocking true story.
Julianne Moore plays a damaged, beautiful woman who elevates her status by marrying the heir to a plastics fortune. The birth of their son, Tony (Eddie Redmayne), doesn't help the couple's relationship. As Tony grows, the family moves from NYC to Paris, to Spain, and to Ibiza during the 50s and 60s, and Barbara's fanatical smothering leaves her son a sheepish wreck.
The fact that he's homosexual makes matters worse.
"Mesmerizing. Hits you like a stun gun. Oscar-worthy performance by Julianne Moore...Above all, the bravery and dramatic range with which she breathes realism into a difficult and unsympathetic role is positively heroic." - Reed, NY Observer
"Travels the world with a mother and son only Tennessee Williams could love. Moore delivers a tour de force." - Travers, Rolling Stone
"A tabloid fiesta of money, kinky sex, murder. You keep watching to see what could possibly happen next." - Powers, Vogue |
