A showdown between two kids about eleven, in a local playground.  Swollen lips, broken teeth...  Now the parents of the  “victim” have invited the parents of the “bully” to their apartment to sort it out.  Cordial banter gradually develops a razor-sharp edge as all four parents reveal their laughable contradictions and grotesque prejudices.  None of them will escape the ensuing carnage.

Carnage stars Academy Award-winner Kate Winslet (Mildred Pierce, The Reader) and Academy Award-winner Christoph Waltz (Water for Elephants, Inglourious Basterds) as husband and wife Nancy and Alan, opposite Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster (Panic Room, The Silence of the Lambs) and John C. Reilly (We Need to Talk About Kevin, Magnolia) as Penelope and Michael, respectively.  

Yasmina Reza joined Roman Polanski in adapting her play “The God of Carnage” for the screen. Said Ben Said (The Witnesses, Love Crime) produced the film through SBS Productions.
