Child's Pose

Child's Pose

Streaming video - 2013

Luminita Gheorghiu (*The Death of Mr. Lazarescu*) stars as a steely, well-to-do Bucharest architect determined to keep her 30-something deadbeat son out of jail after a deadly car crash. How far will she go to convince the police, eyewitnesses and even the victim’s family that her son was not recklessly speeding? A spellbinding drama of social commentary and psychological realism, this caustic look into the corrupt heart of the Eastern European bourgeoisie twists into a brilliantly ambiguous study of obsessive motherly love. Winner of the Golden Bear at the **Berlin International Film Festival.** Official Romanian Entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the **Academy Awards.** *"It's an extremely strong and upsetting film...with... a breathtaking lead performance by Luminita Gheorghiu..." - Sheila O'Malley, **RogerEbert.com***
