Finally it is Barbara’s very aggressive sex with her son that pushes him over the edge. Later Barbara has sex with this same guy and then, why not, the three of them have a go. Then Tony sleeps with his mom’s gay, or rather bi, confidant. Later his father leaves his mother for this same girl. At one point Tony, who is clearly sexually attracted to men, has sex with a girl.

The Baekeland’s just might be the most dysfunctional family ever. We see him grow up and his parents grow apart against a romantic background of wealthy European locations. It begins in the 1940’s with the birth of Tony. The story is told through a series of days, each taking place in a different year and city. He allows their actions to speak for themselves.

The full extent of their relationship was later revealed.ĭespite such salacious subject matter, director Tom Kalin treats his characters with dignity and honesty. When the authorities arrived he was found calmly eating his fried rice. The world was shocked on November 17th, 1972 when Tony stabbed his mother to death, called the police, and then ordered some Chinese food. This is the story of the beautiful social climbing Barbara Baekeland, her husband Brooks, heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune, and their sensitive and intelligent son Tony. Based on a true story it definitely lives up to its tagline. But then the subject matter of mother/son incest is rarely tackled in movies. It is not often that I am shocked by something I see onscreen, but I have to admit that Savage Grace did.
