Grottaminarda, Polanski's "Carnage" at Castello D'Aquino

The Caffè Letterario at Castello d'Aquino in Grottaminarda resumes its 'Spazio Cinema' review after a week's break. The focus remains on Roman Polanski and Thursday, April 3 will be the turn of 'Carnage'. 

'Carnage' takes place in a Brooklyn apartment, where two couples try to resolve a fight between their teenage children. Zachary and Ethan, after a fight in the park, leave behind two broken teeth, prompting the parents to meet to restore harmony. The Longstreets welcome the Cowans with courtesy, he a lawyer perpetually on the phone, she a broker with a delicate stomach. The attempt at mediation continues between forced smiles and diplomacy, until Mrs. Cowan's nausea spills over into a precious collection of art books. This incident triggers an escalation of tensions, revealing the true nature of the protagonists and transforming the confrontation into a brilliant and ferocious war of words. 

With 'Carnage', Polanski once again demonstrates his ability to explore human dynamics with irony and surgical precision. The film, based on the play 'God of Carnage' by Yasmina Reza, captures the viewer with sharp dialogues and masterful performances. An unmissable event for lovers of quality cinema and for those who appreciate intense and nuanced narratives. The evening promises emotions and reflections, in a cultural context that continues to offer moments of great artistic and intellectual value.
