The Argentinian Film That Mastered Visual Storytelling

A video essay about the outstanding 2014 Argentinian movie "Wild Tales" (Relatos Salvajes), written and directed by Damián Szifrón.

A black comedy anthology film featuring 6 stories about revenge and lashing out against society, "Wild Tales" features numerous examples of creative direction that elevate its excellent screenplays to the highest level of contemporary visual storytelling.

In this directing analysis we'll go through some remarkable shots that never call attention to themselves but reveal perfect cases of staging, blocking, composition and camera angle. Szifrón sure loves his rack focus.

The cast is also terrific, featuring Rita Cortese, Oscar Martínez, Erica Rivas, Pedro Almodóvar regular Darío Grandinetti, and, obviously, Ricardo Darín as Bombita. You simply can't make a film in Argentina without him. It's literally against the law.
