Carnages

In Spain it is believed that the herb rosemary possesses great healing powers. Romero ('Rosemary' in Spanish), a 475 kilo bull, dies in the arena. During the night which follows, his horns, bones, eyes and flesh take a journey - to Brussels, to Madrid, to France - disrupting the apparently ordinary lives of a number of characters in search of themselves. We follow the fate of the Italian actress, who sells meat at the supermarket, a Spanish woman who serves steaks, and a little French girl who imagines a world where animals are much larger than humans. From that night on, Romero confirms the powers ascribed to him adn magic power of rosemary – disruptive, explosive, restorative. Delphine Gleize is one of the most original and exciting voices in contemporary French cinema. Her short films have appeared to great acclaim at festivals world-wide, and received numerous prizes. Carnages is her feature film debut. (Film Europe)
