Carnage

Carnage is an upcoming black-comedy drama film written and directed by the very controversial himself, Roman Polanski, best known as the director of movies like The Pianist and The Ghost Writer.

The film is based on the very much famous and acclaimed play, God Of Carnage by French writer Yasimna Reza. The play itself has had 2 adaptations and got immense praise and won many major awards.

The film has an an amazing, A-List cast, including Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Cristoph Waltz and John C.Reilly. The cast seems pretty amazing, considering it has Kate and all of their acting seems pretty awesome (as far is shown in the trailer).


The film tells the story of 2 sets of parents (Foster, Reilly and Winslet,Waltz) who meet up to talk about a fight their children had in the school. The meeting starts off smooth but as time goes by, the meeting quickly becomes an argument in which the parents attack at each other's parenting skills and then exposing problems in their marriages.



The movie seems very humorous and I think it will be absolutely amazing to see such sophisticated actors such as Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster in comedy roles and man, oh man..all the actors are nailing it, YO! The trailer blew me away. HIGH HIGH expectations!



The movie will have its world premiere at the 68th Venice International Film Festival and will be released in Italy on 9th September 2011 and then on 16th December in the U.S. The film is set in Brooklyn, New York but was shot in Paris due to Polanski's legal inability to travel the U.S due to his sexual abuse case (GEEEEZ, *creeps*), that caught mass media attention back in the day and is still a topic of a few tabloids.


Anyways, the poster of the film (the one at the very top) was well-received for its comic element, its visible thats its written in French. It shows that all actors are very calm and happy-chappy in the start, tensed in the middle and then go bizzarly angry/crazy at the end. And thats all the movie is about, looks fantastic! The trailer was amazing and shows what the movie has to offer. Well, thats all for now and really cant wait for this one. Hope it turns out well and maybe gets in the Oscar buzz and get a few Oscar nods, perhaps for Kate (who looks very very promising in the movie)!


-A proper review will be given after the release.
