Child's Pose

Romanian writer and director Calin Peter Netzer delivered a powerful with this drama about corruption. When her adult son is charged with a crime killing child, a socialite uses her political and social status to influence the investigation to save him. Netzer brilliantly shows how corruption is deeply rooted in the fabric of society where the rich and powerful can manipulate the system to their favor. Luminita Gheorghiu stars with a towering performance as the mother willing to cross any line for the protection of her child which makes this film a treat. The supporting cast includes solid performances by Bogdan Dumitrache, Natasa Raab and Vlad Ivanov. 1001 Films' coverage of current releases.
