Carnage

This was the art series film for this week, and it was quite enjoyable. Two couples meet to discuss the behaviour of their children who were involved in a schoolyard fight. Everything seems very civil, but the underlying tension between the couples begins to show. As the bottle of scotch empties, the civility vanishes and the loyalties between the participants change. Sometimes it is the couples that are at odds; sometimes it is the husbands and the wives, sometimes it is the men and the women.
