>This chilling fable about the rise of fascism in the 20th Century tells the story of a young American boy living in France in 1918 whose father is working for the US government on the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. What he witnesses helps to mould his beliefs - and we witness the birth of a terrifying ego. Loosely inspired by the early childhood experiences of many of the great dictators of the 20th Century and infused with the same sense of dread as The Others and The Omen, The Childhood of a Leader is an ominous portrait of emerging evil.
Has anyone here been keeping up with this film? The Scott Walker soundtrack piqued my interest in it last year, but it seems to be running under most peoples' radars. The US release is July 22nd and there's a new trailer out to promote it:

>>71527765

>>71530077

>>71530368

>>71530539
is he the guy who did the music for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ? the trailer gives me the same feel especially because of the music
>>71530629
I don't think so. He did do the soundtrack for a French art film called Pola X but I think that's it otherwise. He was a big pop-star in the 60's but over the years started making strange experimental music. odd guy.
i'll have to check TTSS out though..
>>71530442
Yeah irrelevant ones nobody ever heard of.
Communism was much bigger in France during the interwar period, they even had to ban it.
If you think the birht of Fascism you think Italy and Germany, not american kid in France.
>>71527765
>me as a kid
>>71527765
apparently there's a twist and the child is supposed to be an actual historical figure
anyone knows who ?
>>71530368
This
Film looks okay, but fuck that music was so good
>>71527765
I want to see it purely for the soundtrack and because RPats (Cosmopolis is still one of my favourite films of all time)
>>71527765
so it's literally the Omen?
>>71527765
looks great. hope there's no bs child rape or something thrown in.
>>71530873
doesn't necessarily have to take place entirely in France. the kid could be somewhere other than France by the end of the film.
no idea though desu
>>71531027
probably some American nazi sympathizer like Mosley in England
Apparently in the endthe kid dies and robert pattinson is revealed as the leader
>>71532203
I read on the wikipedia page thatpattinson is playign the kid when he is adult
>>71527765
>Brady Corbet works with Haneke
>who directed Das Weisse Band
>about the rise of fascism in 20th Century Germany
you don't need to be a detective to figure out where he got his inspiration from...
>evil
What's with these absurd value judgments? One could argue that our current political institutions are just as if not more totalitarian than Hitler's Germany. They didn't even have space satellites for their NSA to track our every move. The fact that my phone can actually predict how much traffic is in any certain highway still scares me.
Nazi Germany was actually to the benefit of the German people.
>>71532687
I don't think that's the case, they both appear in this clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-qClcu8lHg
>>71532823apparently he is the actual father of the kid so he plays the kid at adult age too
>>71532956I'm fairly sure that the kid dies though
>>71527765
Strange seeing so many movies coming out with actors from game of thrones. Most of them are shit anyway best ones already had acting carrier.
>>71532797
Literal genocide tends to fall further on the evil scale than surveillance, no matter how pervasive
>>71533188
this guy is the only legit actor left in GOT though
>fascism bad
>nazism bad
>UK literally dominated the globe, subjugated entire nations and none of its leaders were ever villified
>Napoleon conquered Europe and literally could not stop for 5 seconds and not wage wars costing hundreds of thousands of lives and he's celebrated as a hero
>Mao is to this day celebrated as a father of a nation by literally a quarter of the Earth's population
>Lenin and Stalin are considered great leaders in Russia
I just don't get it.
>>71533251
I like him was not implying that he was bad. Just talking about younger actors that got roles from new movies.
>>71533316
The most obvious case of history being written by the winners
>>71533316A lot of people from eastern europe actually like Hitler or at least Germany in WW2
>movie about some european specific subject
>have to inject an american into it
>>71533455
Its Yank made movie
looks based as fuck
