WILD TALES

This Argentine-Spanish black comedy is reminiscent of Tales Of The Unexpected and consists of 6 deliciously-wicked standalone short films, unified by themes of vengeance and violence.

Each short film is well paced and engaging, detailing an event in a person’s life which leads to a finale with a twist. Deficiencies in human nature resonate as their misfortunes arise.

Comic flavouring is cleverly intertwined and at times leads to highly contagious laughter.

This multi-award winning film which closes the Spanish Film Festival, received an Academy award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and was the most watched film in Argentina in 2014. (MMo)
