The God of Carnage

The God of Carnage sees Yasmina Reza give us a brutal and black comedic dissection of bourgeois pretence, as two ostensibly civilised couples meet to sort out a playground punch-up between their children. No-one gets out unscathed as the grown-ups spiral and erupt into verbal and physical violence, we watch as the fragile veneer of middle class civility is shattered.
