No Robert mention, but here’s an extract from IFFR where Liam Cunningham talks The Childhood of a Leader, Brady Corbet and his excitement on hearing that Codarts Orchestra would do a live accompaniment to the film:

The Childhood of a Leader is certainly different. It’s a film for the connoisseur. It expects more of the audience. You really can’t tell that it’s Brady Corbet’s directorial debut. He had so much confidence, he directed the film as if it were his fiftieth. Brady may be a 26-year-old New Yorker, but his taste is European. He has a huge passion for European cinema. As an actor, he’s also worked with the great masters, like Michael Haneke and Lars von Trier.”

The Childhood of a Leader is indeed far from conventional.

“It’s a work of art that asks questions. Brady described the film as a cross between a drama about the Treaty of Versailles and a horror film. That may seem a bizarre combination, but they actually go very well together. It’s an artistic project, in the right sense of the word. You’ve never seen a film like this before. And what a stroke of genius to screen it in Rotterdam with a live orchestra. When I heard that, straight away I broke out in a huge grin. A fantastic idea, because Scott Walker created an amazing score. The result is a film that really excites the senses. The soundtrack usually has a supporting role in a film, but in The Childhood of a Leader the music and images sometimes battle one another.”
