Synopsis

Injustice and the demands of the world can cause stress for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This includes a waitress serving a grouchy loan shark, an altercation between two motorists, an ill-fated wedding reception, and a wealthy businessman who tries to buy his family out of trouble.

Our take

An Argentinian anthology film constructed from escalating scenarios and a zig-zag of unexpected twists and turns, it doesn’t get more entertaining than the Academy Award®-nominated Wild Tales. This brutal revenge comedy, suitably co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar, delights even as it repulses.
