WAMG First Look at ‘Savage Grace’

Savage Grace
Directed by Tom Kalin
Starring: Julianne Moore, Stephen Dillane, Eddie Redmayne

Always a sucker for Julianne Moore films, I stumbled upon some promotional material for this new flick. The movie officially had a limited US release on May 28, 2008 but hasn’t made beyond the major markets yet. Savage Grace received enormous praise from audiences at Cannes and Sundance and there’s even some light buzz on the Internet about the gold guy.

Official Synopsis:

[Savage Grace is the incredible true story of a scandal that even today remains shocking. The beautiful Barbara Daly marries above her social class to the dashing heir of the Bakelite plastics fortune, Brooks Baekeland. The birth of the couple’s only child, Tony, intensifies the already volatile marriage. As Tony matures, he becomes an unwilling pawn in the psychosexual games of his parents. When Brooks can no longer deal with Barbara’s notorious instability or his son’s homosexuality, he abandons them, forcing Tony even closer to his mother. As Tony and Barbara grow increasingly intimate, Barbara’s attempts to thwart her son’s desires will dangerously challenge even the most shocking taboos.]
