WILD TALES is a fresco of rage, fury, deception, and revenge. Made up of six stories, it is an entertaining and jaw-dropping film about people crossing the line into madness when faced with perceived injustice. A lover’s betrayal, a return to the repressed past, and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to lose control and cross the line that divides civilization and barbarism.

“Damián Szifrón’s Wild Tales was the most scathingly funny movie I saw last year, and I doubt another film will surpass it in 2015… Szifrón has maintained a panoramic, perfectly acted view of psychosis born of entitlement, trauma, greed, exasperation, corruption, and romantic jealousy.” Wesley Morris, Grantland

Under the production of El Deseo, by the Almodóvar brothers, this Szifrón film also possess an additional plus that resides in the script work, that if perhaps doesn’t look to articulate each portrait in an evident way, does so through the topics that motivate violence, and also in a delightful use of dialogues, filled with wit and hilarity.” Monica Delgado, Desist Films
