Wild Tales (Relatos Salvajes)

Wild Tales was a breakout hit that put director Damián Szifron on the map. With its sharp mix of dark humor, revenge, and chaos, the film struck a chord with audiences around the world. Its bold storytelling and off-the-rails energy made it a standout at festivals like Cannes and even scored it an Oscar nomination—pretty rare for a movie this wild.

“A collection of six vignettes all connected by themes of victimhood and vengeance, and spring-loaded with ironic twist endings worthy of O. Henry, the film feels like Pulp Fiction filtered through the baroque pop sensibility of Pedro Almodóvar.” – Entertainment Weekly

Inequality, injustice and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This is a movie about those people.

Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable, the characters of Wild Tales cross the thin line that divides civilization and barbarism. A lover’s betrayal, a return to the repressed past and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to madness as they cede to the undeniable pleasure of losing control.
