Carnage, an example of what the French call
un film chorale, tells several intertwining stories. In the central tale, a young second-generation bullfighter,
Victor (
Julien Lescarret), is gored, and is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. A little girl,
Winnie (
Raphaëlle Molinier), sits next to a massive Great Dane and watches the fateful bullfight on television, and becomes obsessed with the bull. A university researcher,
Jacques (
Jacques Gamblin of
Safe Conduct), cheats on his massively pregnant wife,
Betty (
Lio), who hides a critical fact about her pregnancy from him.
Jacques' brother,
Luc (
Bernard Sens), an amateur taxidermist, lives with their mother,
Rosie (
Esther Gorintin), who loves him, but withholds a family secret.
Winnie's teacher,
Jeanne (
Lucia Sanchez), struggles to understand her neurotic mother,
Alicia (
Ángela Molina), when she visits. When her car is dented by a shopping cart,
Carlotta (
Chiara Mastroianni), a struggling actress, meets
Alexis (
Clovis Cornillac), a suicidal philosopher/skater who offers to lead her to the culprits.
Carnage, the debut feature from writer/director
Delphine Gleize, won the Sutherland Trophy at the
2002 London Film Festival and Best Screenplay at the
2002 Stockholm Film Festival. It was also shown at the
2002 Cannes Film Festival and at Lincoln Center in New York as part of their
2003 Rendez-Vouz with French Cinema.
