Child's Pose gets UK deal

StudioCanal has picked up UK rights from Beta Cinema to Calin Peter Netzer’s Berlinale Golden Bear winner Child’s Pose.

The Romanian foreign language Oscar entry is scheduled for a November release after its UK debut at the BFI London Film Festival.

Produced by Netzer’s Parada Film and Ada Solomon, Child’s Pose follows a difficult mother-son relationship amid low-level corruption in contemporary Romania.

Co-written by the director and Razvan Radulescu, the film stars Luminița Gheorghiu, Bogdan Dumitrache, Ilinca Goia and Natasa Raab.

The deal follows a recent US deal with Zeitgeist and completes sales in all major territories.
