Watching an Argentinian movie after a long hiatus was the best I’ve done this week. Wild Tales (Relatos Selvajes) is a series of 6 short stories, all focused on revenge. My favourite one: the “Bombita” engineer.

I do like the concept of multiple, unrelated stories glued together by one general theme. In the case of Wild Tales, humour was super intelligent and all characters were deeply immersed into their roles.

Imagine a scale of 1 through 6, where 1 is the first tale and 6 the last. Every next story becomes more convoluted and full of elements. It becomes a sort of tutorial. The more you learn, the more the plot requires your attention. Every single tale is so entertaining and creative that staying completely tuned to each is easy.
