Short description

This examination of a famous scandal from the 1970s explores the relationship between Barbara Baekeland and her only son, Antony. Barbara, a lonely social climber unhappily married to the wealthy but remote plastics heir Brooks Baekeland, dotes on Antony, who is homosexual. As Barbara tries to "cure" Antony of his sexuality -- sometimes by seducing him herself -- the groundwork is laid for a murderous tragedy.

What's left behind the scenes

In an interview with the Daily Mail, published on July 12, 2008, Sam Green (1940-2011) expressed outrage at being portrayed as bisexual in the film and categorically denied claims that Barbara Baekeland (1922-1972) had an intimate relationship with her son Anthony. Dansy sued the filmmakers, a lawsuit that was still ongoing at the time of his death in 2011. Green’s image, a close friend of Andy Warhol (1928-1987), also appears in the film “I Seduced Andy Warhol” (George Hickenlooper, 2006).
Beach scenes were filmed during the height of tourist season. According to director Tom Kalin, the location chosen for filming turned out to be a favorite beach for German nudists, who constantly wandered into the frame, seriously irritating both the film crew and Julianne Moore, who came to the set with her daughter Liv.
