Open-air film festival 2015: Relatos Salvajes (Wild Tales)

Damián Szifrón. Argentina, 2014. Original language, English subtitles. 122'.

The beast in all of us is what comes to the surface in the six stories in this film brought to us by Damián Szifrón – stories in which violence is a constant and where life stuff happens with the most poignant and corrosive humour. The formula works, and that been proven not only by the awards the film has garnered (including an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film) but also the laughter from the audience at every screening.
