Outdoor cinema 2014: Carnage

Roman Polanski. France, 2011. Original language, Spanish subtitles. 79'.

This English-language adaptation of the eponymous play by French author Yasmina Reza was filmed in Europe, but the story is set in New York, where two couples (John C. Reilly, Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and Kate Winslet) meet to have a civilised talk about a recent conflict their young children had in a park. But the discussion escalates and turns into something no one expected.
