Wild Tales is a fantastic movie with such a humorous and dark tone to it. Centering around six short stories that examine human behavior, distress, impatience, and lots of stupidity.
Directed by Damian Szifron and co written with Julian Loyola and German Servidio. This bit of a dark take on humanity is somewhat appealing, joyful, and funny. As much as I was shocked by the levels of cruelty during all tales - I also found them pleasant and true to themselves.
The first segment titled "Pasternak" is a personal favorite of mine, as I have studied it in film class back in High School. It is such a mixture of complete coincidence and humor. With the titular character crashing the airplane on his parents, rolling into the opening credits I just knew I was in for a great movie. Besides it was also a clever way to start the movie with such a shocking ending.
The second segment was my least favorite, I just felt that there wasn't much of a clashing conflict between the protagonist Moza (Julieta Zylberberg) and the villain Cuenca (Cesar Bordon). It did not hit as powerful as the rest of the conflicts throughout the film.
The third segment was great, Both the music and the visuals were beautiful. Titled "The strongest," The conflict is obvious as there are two drivers who are trying to tease and kill each other. Over argument on the road. A simple tale of impatience and violence on the road.
The fourth segment titled "Dynamite" is clever and funny. Centering over an engineer fighting the unfair system that toes his car every single time. Leading him to be impatient, annoyed and take drastic measures. The climax of the segment is somewhat funny and I really liked it.
Fifth segment titled "The offer" is clever as there are many mind games and tensions surrounding a car accident and negotiations between lawmen.
The sixth and final segment called "Till death do us apart" is another dark tale full of hatred towards each other. During their marriage Romina (Erica Rivas) finds out her new husband Ariel (Diego Gentile) has cheated on her. She in return ruins everyone's fun and the entire evening becomes an embarrassment. The segment ends with the unhappy couple dancing and embracing their love aside of their cons.
Overall, this has been quite a roller-coaster of wildness and human behavior, I do hope to see more movies like these that are very special in my opinion, with clever stories and moments. The type of movies that hold different tales who are all connected.
