Review of Wild Tales (2014) by Bhbarry — 26 Feb 2015
"Wild Tales" is a multi-storied vehicle written and directed by Damian Szifron. One of the nominees for Best Foreign Film, and deservedly so, the film consists of 6 independent stories threaded together by the theme of revenge and retribution.
From the tale of an angry lover whose mate has been unfaithful to the story of a citizen frustrated by government corruption and four other stories in between, these are tales woven together by a masterful story teller in the person of Senor Szifron.
Superbly acted, photographed, written and directed, this film stands out as one of the most enjoyable theatrical experiences this viewer has had the pleasure of being part of in a long long time. It is no easy feat to be able to tie so many individual tales in such a way that the viewer never feels he or she is watching separate films but, instead, one large overview of the human condition and how we each cope with the circumstances that befall us.
I give the film a 10 4 s and urge all who can to make it a must-see on their movie list..
