Changeling
Series: 46th New York Film Festival [Sept. 26 – Oct. 12, 2008]
Director: Clint Eastwood, Country: USA, Release: 2008, Runtime: 140

Clint Eastwood’s 28th film proves to be one of his best and most ambitious, weaving the tangled threads of an extraordinary true-crime tale. The year is 1928, the place Los Angeles, where single mother Christine Collins returns home from work to discover that her 10-year-old son Walter has disappeared. A nationwide manhunt follows, but when the police find Walter several months later and reunite him with a grateful Christine, it’s not the end but merely the beginning of this stranger-than-fiction mystery.

Featuring Angelina Jolie in a stunning performance that evokes the great star turns of 1930s melodramas, Changeling is at once the harrowing story of a woman wronged and a serpentine portrait of city corruption reminiscent of Chinatown and Touch of Evil. It is also Eastwood’s most provocative inquiry yet into the grey areas between good and evil – and the moral ambiguity of what we call justice.

A Universal Pictures release.
