LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Fans of high class scenery chewing will enjoy "Carnage," director Roman Polanski's acrid comedy about two bourgeoisie couples battling it out over a long weekday afternoon in Brooklyn.
Adapted from "God of Carnage," French playwright Yasmina Reza's recent Tony-winning stage comedy, the movie will have its premiere Friday night as the opener at the 49th annual New York Film Festival in Manhattan. (Sony Pictures Classics releases "Carnage" in theaters on December 16.)
Last year, the festival memorably kicked off with the premiere of "The Social Network," which went on to win three Oscars (it had eight nominations) and gross $225 million worldwide. "Carnage" is no "Social Network," lacking the latter film's ambition and depth.
