Carnage

Carnage

A new comedy of no manners.

Directed by Roman Polanski

Produced by SBS Productions, Constantin Film

201180 min7.2 / 10

A caustic dark comedy about civility's thin veneer, where four adults descend into petty cruelty and bodily humor in a single room.

Two pairs of parents hold a cordial meeting after their sons are involved in a fight, though as their time together progresses, increasingly childish behavior throws the discussion into chaos.
