Carnage Trailer (2002)

Carnage traces the bizarre, often magical effects a 1,000-pound Andalusian bull has on a disparate group of characters. The bull?s name is Romero - "Rosemary" in Spanish -- and in Spain, it is believed that the herb rosemary possesses great healing powers. The tale begins in Spain as a young bullfighter is gored in the ring and the bull is killed. Overnight, various parts of the anima l--horns, eyes, bones -- make their way to recipients across Europe. A little girl named Winnie gets one of the bones as a treat for her giant Great Dane; a struggling actress (Chiara Mastroianni) sells Winnie's parents the bone in a supermarket promotion; a philandering scientist (Jacques Gamblin) and his pregnant wife receive the eyes; a taxidermist gets the horns as a gift from his elderly mother; a Spanish woman (Angela Molina) dines on toro en rioja in a restaurant. With elegance, humor and a remarkable visual command, Gleize weaves these stories together, creating a fresh take on one of the recurring obsessions of modern life: whether beneath the spontaneity and chaos of our lives, there is some guiding principle that connects us all.
