Product Description
Winner of the Sutherland Trophy at the 2002 London Film Festival, this debut feature from writer-director Delphine Gleize is an example of 'un film chorale' - a film telling several interrelated stories. In Spain, a young matador is critically injured in the bullring, and the offending bull is quickly killed and its various body parts dispatched to various places in Europe. The film then follows the stories of those whose lives the dead bull inadvertently touches, including an unfaithful university scientist whose wife is having quintuplets, a little girl who imagines a world where animals are bigger than people, a struggling actress doing a supermarket promotion and a taxidermist whose mother is withholding a family secret.

Carnages was actually an unexpected delight of a film. Quite a magical little tale of how a bull that was killed after a brutal bullfight affects so many lives and ties them all together.
As the body parts of the bull are split across 3 countries, people whose lives were never obviously connected now become inextricably linked, bringing out all manner of brilliant characterization and some eccentric personalities. I just love the little girl, Winnie, and her dog, Fred; and Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Devenue's daughter, is wonderfully quirky in this.
A charming little story, visually beautiful, its scenes are almost rhythmic. I shall look out for more of Delphine Gleize's work.
