After two boys have a bad fight on a playground, the parents of the “victim” invite the parents of the “bully” over to work out “the problem”. A polite discussion on parenting escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents soon revealing their true colors. Unpredictable and shocking, the film hilariously exposes the hypocrisy lurking behind their well-mannered, polished façade. Briskly-paced, Carnage is an acting tour de force and was aptly called a lighter version of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Winner of the Leoncino Prize at the Venice Film Festival. English spoken.
