Damián Szifron's 'Wild Tales' is a deliriously creative, deliciously diabolical anthology film about modern day violence. It is an outrageous collection of shorts set in Szifron's homeland—a sextet of improbable shaggy-dog stories, insane urban legends and entertainingly twisted cautionary yarns of the sort that people dispense during a night of heavy drinking, tied together by violent themes.
Like it or not, you can't say that Wild Tales isn't at least something a little fresh in the lame movie industry.This is a Spanish film which should be seen with subtitles if you don't understand Spanish.
I don't have a that much movie knowledg. But pretty sure (for me) this movie is the movie of the decade.
Wild Tales (2014) :Human Anthology composed by Six Wild stories of Vengeance and Violence. This idea has hit me hard, truly.
6 tales with different levels of comedy or darkness stories happen so fast and drastic, that at some points i felt like im in a heavy metal concert!
I'd like to imagine that if Luis Bunuel's grandson (or maybe grand-daughter, who knows) had the same temperament and filmmaking go-for-broke sense of death-defying comedic satire, and grew up on a diet of Tarantino scripts, he/she might make something like Wild Tales. Or perhaps there's also a touch of Kafka to some of this - people who are put into completely insane situations that start from something typical (a guy who flips off or a guy getting flipped off while driving, or a guy getting his car towed), or not so much (a groom's infidelity discovered by the bride right in the middle of the wedding reception, or a negotiation by rich men over how to save a kid from going to jail for running someone over).
I never wanted this movie to end. I even started watching it again once it got finished.
The five separate tales here are so uneven that it is unbelievable they all came from the same director, unless he has split personalities ranging from 'inspired' to 'grade-B wannabe'.Without revealing the plot here are the five:1) 'Flight' thingy - a little over-contrived but still an interesting and suitable short intro to the suite2) 'Road Rage' thingy - the best of the lot.
