CHILDS POSE opens Thursday March 20th 6pm a film by Calin Peter Netzer The top prize winner at the Berlin Film Festival, Calin Peter Netzers sharply crafted Childs Pose pivots on a riveting performance by Luminita Gheorghiu (Best Supporting Actress, The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, Los Angeles Film Critics) 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 victims 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. Savagely witty and utterly engrossing, Childs Pose was Romanias entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards. Directed by Calin Peter Netzer Romanian with English subtitles 2013, 112 minutes
