Savage Grace (2007)

Truth is more shocking than fiction.

• Drama

This examination of a famous scandal from the 1970s explores the relationship between Barbara Baekeland and her only son, Antony.

As Barbara tries to "cure" Antony of his sexuality -- sometimes by seducing him herself -- the groundwork is laid for a murderous tragedy.
