Sweden looks like February is your lucky month, not only do you get LIFE on DVD, but it looks like The Childhood of a Leader is premiering at KINO too. It’s listed under “coming soon” with a premiere date of 26 February 2016.  I’m not jealous really I’m not. Hopefully this is the start of the film being unleashed worldwide.  The film isn’t listed in the calendar as yet, but I will update ticket links when available.  At the moment, you can find out about ticket sales here.

 

WOW I was not expecting to see this, talk about the best surprise – our first footage of Rob as Charles! Rob is at the beginning & for those who don’t mind spoilers, you can watch at the source by clicking on the cap below.

Thanks to @sallyvg for the link.

 

I’m so happy that this interview hasn’t been dubbed.  I love hearing Rob talk just about anything and he talks about lots of things in this, some we’ve heard or read before, but it’s great to have a long 12 min interview where we can just sit back, watch and listen.

Great to wake up to this news.  Brady sure is garnering some recognition for his first foray into directing.  I have a feeling if this isn’t included at Sydney Film Festival 2016 I might have to travel to Melbourne!  Fingers crossed.

  

LEFFEST

 

With the movie being released at several film festivals, I thought I would roundup the reviews so far.  The review extracts will focus on Rob’s performance, but if he isn’t mentioned, then I will post extracts on the movie as a whole. You can check out the initial reviews we posted from Venice here, I won’t repeat them in this post, but I will add any from Venice that I didn’t include. Please note that some reviews may contain spoilers.  This post will be updated as the movie is released around the world.

THE COOL

Cinedivergente (Spain) *SEFF15

“…  on the one hand, it gives the genre a dignity and firmness that few dare to give (Rob Zombie and maybe a little more) and another ripping hard historical film conventions and reconstructions of past key fiction. And today we need someone from time to time we may sift and stands up a bit. To me he has moved me the whole tree.”

Accreds (France)

“Two things are very clear by cons: Bérénice Bejo must stop playing English maternal roles as the Phantom of The Search will not be exorcised, and Robert Pattinson must work in France; there is even better than elsewhere.”

Cine Europa (EU) *Venice

“… a German played by Robert Pattinson with the questionable brilliance he’s known for (to pass his accent off as European …”

This is a nice way to start a Friday – I won’t call this UHQ because the quality is grainy but it is HUGE.
