Carnage
It’s always exciting when Oscar winning actors get together and when you see a cast list with Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster and Christoph Waltz on it you know that it is a movie that is not to be missed.
It seems that working with Roman Polanski is an opportunity that all these stars could not let slip by as the filmmaker is in the director’s chair for the first time since The Ghost.
Carnage was a massive hit at the Venice Film Festival, where it opened proceedings earlier this year, when it was met with a standing ovation - always a good sign.
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 looks set to be a character driven movie that sees some of the biggest names in cinema showing off what they do best.
Carnage is released 3rd February
