Review of Carnage (1984) by Rodrigo R — 29 Jun 2012
A meeting between the parents of two children involved in a dispute starts off as civil before the facade slowly erodes revealing the fractures within each couple's relationship and the rivalry between the genders.
The film betrays it's origins as a play but the actors, particularly Waltz, do a good job of portraying the complexities of adult interaction. Unfortunately the one scene setting renders the experience a little dull (two to the people I saw it with managed to fall sleep).
The film is book-marked by two silent scenes that show how much simpler conflict resolution between children can be.
