THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER<\/strong>
\nIFC Films<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Showbiz<\/strong>
\nGrade: B<\/strong>
\nDirector: Brady Corbet<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Mona Fastvold, Brady Corbet<\/strong>
\nCast: Tom Sweet, B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo, Liam Cunningham, Stacy Martin, Robert Pattinson, Rebecca Davan, Sophie Lane Curtis, Yolande Moreau, Caroline Boulton, Luca Bercovici<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Critics\u2019 link, NYC, 7\/11\/16<\/strong>
\nOpens: July 22, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film, which is a dramatic and sometimes cinematically stunning freshman contribution to studies of the origins of fascism, is loosely adapted from an uncredited 1939 story by Jean-Paul Sartre.\u00a0 The story, only a few pages long from a book called \u201cThe Wall\u201d and difficult enough to appropriate to the cinema, is the tale of the mental progress of a boy named Lucien Fleurier.\u00a0 The existential tale follows the four-year-old boy from age four to early adulthood.\u00a0 Though quite young, he searches for identity and wonders what\u2019s wrong with him.\u00a0 Entering into Freudian psychoanalysis, he ultimately becomes part of a Fascist youth organization and kills a Jewish man who is reading \u201cl\u2019Humanit\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brady Corbet\u2019s film version, written by Mona Fastvold and the director, extends the parable into a film of almost two hours while at the same time focusing on\u00a0 Lucian\u2014here called Prescott, but only late in the story\u2014only while he is seven years old and the product of authoritarian parents. His father (Liam Cunningham) is an American diplomat on the staff of President\u2019s Wilson\u2019s Secretary of State Lansing temporarily residing in a French Chateau close to Versailles with his German-born wife (B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo).\u00a0 He and just about all the diplomats in the extended cast are dressed to the nines in cutaway suits, which hopefully is no longer the strict fashion taken on by current diplomats like Secretary John Kerry.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere surrounding the boy, his mother and his father, comes across through stiff conversations with a political advisor Charles Marker (Robert Pattinson), the well-dressed, nattily bearded man talking through the kind of cigar smoke that used to accompany three-drink martinis with dinner.\u00a0 Because Prescott is the only principal character who is still a child and despite having performed in a Christmas pageant with his peers, he is a lonely boy without real friends except for the maids and especially one servant played by Yolande Moreau, who treats him with compassion.\u00a0 In one scene he throws rocks at the folks leaving the church without a clue to why he is doing this. Though the director and co-writer mean to link Prescott\u2019s early years with a future as an authoritarian leader (think Mussolini), Prescott is a solid character on his own and is quite well played in his debut by Tom Sweet\u2014who will shortly appear in a much briefer role in the historical-political \u201cAshes in the Snow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Were \u201cChildhood\u201d not meant as a fable, partly a criticism of the harsh treatment Germany received from the Treaty of Versailles which might have been the principal cause of Hitler\u2019s aggression, it would be a mediocre tract about a rebellious kid with long hair who occasionally dresses girl\u2019s clothing and sometimes appears half-naked and wandering into diplomatic functions.\u00a0 Much of the film is stilted\u2014the exceptions being the affection given to the boy by his French tutor played by Stacy Martin and a servant (Yolande Moreau).<\/p>\n

The film suffers from being dimly lit as well.\u00a0 In fact the first half hour or so is so dark\u2014indoor scenes with limited lighting unable to reflect well against the men\u2019s black suits\u2014that audience members might take this as a cue to exit.\u00a0 Dialogue is often faint, which could make audiences breathe sighs of release when the characters speak French and we are provided with English subtitles.<\/p>\n

But its most appealing feature is Scott Walker\u2019s score, reminiscent of a high-class horror film, screeching with dissonance at key points.\u00a0 Archival footage from 1918 and one brief set at the conclusion that could reflect the year 1940, is provided and most welcome, as a large crowd restrained by armed forces awaits the presence of Prescott, its forceful leader.\u00a0 These compensating factors should prepare us for better movies to come from this director.<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 116 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
