FAMILY IN TOTAL CRISIS. The brilliant Julianne Moore stars in Tom Kalin's controversial film Savage Grace, based on the true story of "borderline sociopath" Barbara Baekeland.

Directed by Tom Kalin and starring Julianne Moore and Stephen Dillane, Savage Grace is a shocking tale of obsession and codependency that explores the shadowy margins of human sexuality.

The film made its Canadian premiere at the Inside Out Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival on May 18.
