Movie / Show Details

Gott des Gemetzels is a 2011 dark comedy-drama directed by Roman Polanski, written by Polanski, Michael Katims, and Yasmina Reza. When two young boys get into a fight on a playground that leaves one with a knocked-out tooth, the parents of both children decide to meet and discuss the incident like reasonable adults. Christoph Waltz, Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, and Kate Winslet star as the two couples who gather to talk things through. What begins as a civil conversation about violence, responsibility, and civility quickly unravels into a messy argument filled with contradictions and absurd prejudices, eventually revealing the savage impulses lurking beneath everyone’s polished exterior.
