"Carnage" Interviews

Roman Polanski's "Carnage" is one of my favorite films of 2011. The entire thing takes place inside a single New York City apartment as two couples meet to talk about the fight their children were in with each other. I realize that premise sounds fantastically boring. In the hands of a lesser director, or lesser actors, it might have been. Instead, it's superb. "Carnage" (which has been done on stage many times prior to Polanski's film) mines the depths of adulthood, marriage, parenthood, class warfare; it always held my attention, it made me laugh and it made me hungry for cobbler.
