Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Carnage is a 2011 Dark Comedy film by Roman Polanski starring Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Christoph Waltz and Kate Winslet, based on the play God of Carnage by French playwright Yasmina Reza.Two couples, Penelope and Michael (Foster & Reilly) and Alan and Nancy (Waltz & Winslet) have met to work out an incident. After an argument in a public park, Alan and Nancy's son Zachary hit Penelope and Michael's son Ethan in the face with a stick, causing the latter to lose two front teeth. Hoping to discuss it like reasonable people, Alan and Nancy have come to Penelope and Michael's place. While all four start out acting in an immaculately polite fashion, things quickly deteriorate to a state of total chaos involving vomit, booze and a mobile phone.The film proper is set almost entirely in one New York apartment, except for two brief scenes at the beginning and end. There are only four actors in the whole film, with the exception of a few extras we see in the introduction and epilogue and some voices we hear over the phone. It is also notable for occurring almost in real time, save for the aforementioned bookends.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the comic book character, although they both share a New York setting (and a taste for Black Comedy). | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Carnage / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Possibly unintentional, but this is not the first time we've seen Christoph Waltz in a long dark Gestapo-ish coat. | |

All Periods Are PMS | |
| Carnage / int_4dce8058 | comment |
All Periods Are PMS: Penelope quickly hides a package of tampons out of sight when she takes Alan into her apartment's bathroom. It can be assumed her emotional fragility is at least partially related to PMS. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Carnage / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Since the film is set in a different country than the play, this was bound to happen. However, only Penelope (who was Véronique in the play) and the kids (Zachary/Ferdinand; Ethan/Bruno) play this trope straight; the other three main characters' names are literal traductions of their original French names. | |
