Misanthropy vs civilisation. Roman Polanski’s incursion in Woody Allen’s territory, with a biting edge. I haven’t seen a comedy from Polanski since the The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967), which also was biting, obviously. The actors are at their best. Jodie Foster does not simply possess her role, but seems possessed by it. She expresses herself with every pore of her skin. Kate Winslet is simply hilarious. The facial expressions of the former combined with the indigestion of the latter remind me of Regan in the Exorcist. It’s been a long time since I belly laughed as much in a movie theatre. The screenplay is taken from the stage play Le Dieu du carnage. Now, I can hardly wait to see it on stage. A comedy for adults not to be missed, but make sure your couple is secure beforehand.
