I went to the FACT Cinema in Liverpool yesterday to see Carnage, the new Roman Polanski film. Interesting (the use of this term being debatable depending on how interested in my pathetic existence you are…) fact; the last time I went to  FACTwas on a college trip to watch Hotel Rwanda. I used to do a mean Don Cheadle impression. Afterwards we went to Subway. It was such a cheery day. Steak and Cheese on Hearty Italian mixed with genocide and tyranny, my favourites! Thankfully, Carnage was nothing like Hotel Rwanda. A lot less bloodshed, guns, and Don Cheadle. You can go look up the finer details of the plot, but it basically involves two couples forced to meet after their sons get into a playground scrap. It was absolutely hilarious. I am no fan of Jodie Foster or Kate Winslet, but it’s hard to fault their performances at all. John C. Reilly and the amazing Christoph Waltz were on such good form, but it’s rare you ever see them do wrong anyway. With the whole film being set in just the one apartment, I think it definitely proved that movies don’t have to jump from location to location just to keep the attention of the audience, that it really is down to the writing and familiarity of character’s emotions to us. It was so fun to see the two couples as they present themselves to strangers, yet over the course of the film, their layers of decency slowly tear away one argument at a time. Honestly, I had so much fun watching Carnage. I would watch it again right now if I could. Everyone was so unique and had certain traits that played against each other so well, it was a strange delight to see. Plus, no one drove down a road over loads of dead bodies in Rwanda. Always a plus for any film.
