I'm not a fan of the trailer myself, I hope Jodie and Kate did pull it off though. These are not easy roles, and I believe the people who did them the best (theater) were very dramatic, explosive, loud actresses, which Jodie & Kate are not. Maybe that's the reason why Polanski chose them, to go against the flow and offer another approach to it. But I must say I'm a bit anxious. Let's wait for the release now!! |

On some awards boards and Broadway forums there seems to be big excitement over the trailer. I never got to see the live show but those who did seem to say how accurate and great it looks.

http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/2011/09/01/venice_reviews_carnage_jodie_faster_coming_out_on_top_of_polanskis_actors_s/![]() Reviews have landed for Roman Polanski’s Carnage, playing at the Venice Film Festival. Here’s our report on Day Two (including W.E. and Carnage reviews). Polanski’s film is an adaptation of Yasmena Reza’s popular French play, God of Carnage, which most recently played at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson theater with Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden. That’s a stellar cast to top. The difference here is that Polanski’s equally impressive cast of Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly shot the play on film (though it’s not necessarily very cinematic), and were stuck in an apartment in Paris made to look like New York instead of on a stage. Read the buzz and trailer below. SPC will release the film December 16. ThePlaylist gives it a C+ as “a film of very little ambition, a minor entry in the director’s canon. Perhaps it was just the desire to shoot something fast and quick after his brush with justice, which is certainly understandable, but he has essentially taken a pre-existing script, cast four A-listers, locked them in a room, and shot it. There are few directorial flourishes beyond a firmly Polanski-esque opening shot, and almost nothing to enable the identification of the movie as a Polanski picture; for once in his career, it feels like almost anyone could have directed it.” They dub Jodie Foster is the highlight and Winslet the weakest link (that could be said of the play’s character, too). David Gritten gives kudos to: “Waltz, as the rudest man in the room, gets the best lines. It’s well-acted and giddily enjoyable, if slightly less so once the characters start to analyse their descent into barbarism.” This Is London says Foster gives a “wicked, Oscar-worthy comic performance”: “Little attempt is made to disguise the fact that this is the film of a play. And the dramatic gears grind a little during certain shifts of allegiance along couple and gender lines. But making the audience feel claustrophobic is central to Carnage’s method: we’re penned in, unable to leave this airless apartment,..The film also celebrates an old-fashioned, underrated cinematic pleasure: the chance to see an ensemble cast of fine actors sparring with each other, and at the top of their game.” THR‘s Todd McCarthy says the cast “holds its own,” but a la The Pianist or Rosemary’s Baby: “Polanski has often been at his best in close quarters,..so it should be no surprise that he’s right at home examining the venality of the human condition in the living room of the Brooklyn apartment that serves as the setting for Carnage. Snappy, nasty, deftly acted and perhaps the fastest paced film ever directed by a 78-year-old,..fully delivers the laughs and savagery of the stage piece while entirely convincing as having been shot in New York, even though it was filmed in Paris for well-known reasons.”

hey, that's a good point. I never realized that Jodie doesn't seem to go to London or anyother city around there.

Who knows. If she doesn't, I can't help think there is *something* up. She's a race horse when it comes to promoting her movies and not showing up at a second premier, first North American, is unheard of for her, I think.

I am just returning from the Carnage Premiere. It was fantastic! I've never seen the play and was shocked at how funny it was. Jodie and John were the only two that showed up. At least for the 630pm showing that I attended. (There were 4 showings tonight.) Before the movie JF & JR were introduced and came out and waved. No comments from either. Also, when the credits came they directed a spot light onto John and Jodie. They stood up, waved again, and were off. She looked beautiful as always.

She had on a little black velvet looking dress with black heels. It was not one that she has worn in the past. It was cut above the knee and had a different halter type of top. Her hair was chin length and straight. I didn't see her with anyone but John Reilly and the lady that wrote it. |
