Loosely inspired by the early childhood experiences of many of the notorious dictators of the 20th Century, The Childhood of a Leader is an ominous portrait of emerging evil. A young American boy is living with his family in France in 1918 while his father works for the US government on the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. What he sees helps to mould his beliefs, and we witness the birth of a terrifying ego. Starring Robert Pattinson, Liam Cunningham, Berenice Bejo and Stacy Martin.

Brady Corbet directs this war drama loosely based on Jean-Paul Sartre's short story. Tom Sweet stars as a young American boy living with his parents in France just after the end of the Second World War. As he witnesses his father (Liam Cunningham)'s part in peace negotiations and the creation of the Treaty of Versailles, the boy begins to develop an angry personality, having temper outbursts at anyone who questions or challenges him. As his mother (Bérénice Bejo) tries to control her son with love and affection, it soon becomes clear that no amount of discipline can restrain him. The cast also includes Yolande Moreau, Stacy Martin and Robert Pattinson.
