"A chilly — and chilling — political thriller by way of a provocative domestic chamber piece. Strikingly mounted, lighted, shot and scored [by Scott Walker], this tense, decidedly arty film marks a bravura feature directing debut." (Los Angeles Times). An American family settles into the French countryside at the end of the First World War, where the father (Liam Cunningham) is involved in the peace negotiations around the Treaty of Versailles. His wife (Berenice Bejo) is a devout Christian who struggles with the tantrums of their defiant young son, whose willful outbursts begin to demonstrate a monster in the making. Not Rated. 115 mins.
