Wild Tales (2014)

Argentina, South America - amidst the sprawling cityscapes and desolate stretches of open land, one theme connects six different tales in Damián Szifron’s anthology film, Wild Tales, and the theme in question is vengeance.

 

Filled with subversion, subterfuge, and sinister acts of passion, this film sets out from the very get go with one objective in mind: to encapsulate what drives a person to commit heinous acts of revenge against the offender at large, no matter how trivial, maddening, or downright deserving of it they may be.

 

Darkly comical and electrifying in both tone and atmosphere, this film is anything but predictable. Strap in and experience the ride of a lifetime as we discuss this absolute gem from one of South America’s most refreshing filmmakers.

 

As always, thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy the discussion.
