CARNAGE

"CARNAGE"(2011/France/Germany/Spain/Poland)
Synopsis
In Brooklyn Bridge Park, eleven year old Zachary Cowan strikes his eleven year old classmate Ethan Longstreet across the face with a stick after an argument. Among the more serious of Ethan's injuries is a permanently missing tooth and the possibility of a second tooth also being lost. Their respective parents learn of the altercation through Ethan's parents questioning him about his injuries. The Longstreet parents invite the Cowan parents to their Brooklyn apartment to deal with the incident in a civilized manner. They are: Penelope Longstreet, whose idea it was to invite the Cowans, she whose priorities in life include human rights and justice; Michael Longstreet, who tries to be as accommodating as possible to retain civility in any situation; Nancy Cowan, a nervous and emotionally stressed woman; and Alan Cowan, who is married more to his work as evidenced by the attachment he has to his cell phone and taking work calls at the most inopportune times.

Two pairs of the parents met to talk in a civilized manner. They tried to understand each other's situation, but to be honest, they thought that the incident was not their son's fault each other. 
At first, they talked gently, but they were distracted by other couple's thoughts and attitude gradually, and finally, they directed their anger to their own partner.
I know it happen very well. So that was why they could not succeeded in their ideal talk.
The highlight of the movie is a performance of  splendid actors. 
Especially Christoph Waltz who is acted as Alan Cowans, has a biting tongue and his acting is so funny!　He seems to be a typical American who has a high academic career. 
I could not stop myself from laughing aloud!
This movie is based on the play by French playwright Yasumina Reza.
It must be so fun if I can watch the story by live on the stage!

My rating: ★★★★
