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, Bérénice Bejo and Stacy Martin.
