Savage Grace2007
Truth is more shocking than fiction.
This examination of a famous scandal from the 1970s explores the relationship between Barbara Baekeland and her only son, Antony. Barbara, a lonely social climber unhappily married to the wealthy but remote plastics heir Brooks Baekeland, dotes on Antony, who is homosexual. As Barbara tries to "cure" Antony of his sexuality -- sometimes by seducing him herself -- the groundwork is laid for a murderous tragedy.

21It's still primarily a showcase and offbeat star vehicle for Moore. It's a bravura role and she brings it off with a chilling malevolence and a strange, disjointed vulnerability that almost, but not quite, makes her sympathetic.
比起同志情节伦理情节所占篇幅更多 父母混乱的情感关系可能是让孩子陷入混乱的一条导火索 来自情感的痛苦使亲密关系转变为双刃剑 错位的不断折磨将事情可能的发展渐渐推向不可控的局面//剧作混乱得犹如所展现的情感关系//朱丽安摩尔的气质虽然神经质但总觉得还有一丝丝端庄 致使她的随意不能说服我 埃迪雷德梅恩则是将自我的脆弱质感拿捏得死死的 仿佛真的是个被原生家庭反复蹂躏的少年
U.S. viewers may be put off by its tangled sexual motifs and find its implied social critique a little close to the bone. But even Stateside, Julianne Moore, in her most challenging role in years, will win plaudits and attract mature audiences to a thoroughly absorbing and polished piece of work.
