Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
lstorchevoy Yes, it is, indeed. It has it all: an Agatha Christie-style intrigue, peripeteia, remarkable dark humor, and psychological drama. This segment is so perfect that no continuation is really necessary, and the film should have ended with the last scene of Pasternak. Regrettably, it does not, and the remaining five shorts are no match to Pasternak, the last two parts being excessively long and merely intended to help the director to come up with a full-length feature. Nonetheless, the beauty of Pasternak justifies a solid 7.
Rob Broekhof This movie is possibly the best movie I have ever seen. Possibly, since I'm from the sixties and I've seen many. By the way, that might also account for the fact that it is the BEST! Six stories telling one story. When you watch you'll recognize your own anger and frustration. You'll be ready to indulge in supreme forms of revenge. I wonder whether where you'll indulge in what? Explore & enjoy this wonderful trip in both the worst & the best in you and your fellow men! Anyway, this most certainly is "one to watch". Cheers! :-)
gogoschka-1 Hilarious and very, very black comedy consisting of six episodes about people who get driven to the edge of reason (and a little beyond). The acting and writing in this gem from Argentina are superb, and the beautifully photographed segments keep you thrilled and unable to guess just what crazy turn they will take next. A wonderful joy of a film for film lovers with a rather twisted sense of humor. 8 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated film gems, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495
jesszewczyk "Wild Tales" (Relatos Salvajes in the original) is by far, one of my favorite movies. The six combined stories that compose this amazing cinematic experience - "Pasternak" (Pasternak), "The Rats" (Las Ratas), "The Strongest" (El más Fuerte), "Little Bomb" (Bombita), "The Proposal" (La Propuesta) and "Till Death Do Us Apart" (Hasta que la Muerte nos separe) - , bring to life our deepest desires and craziest reactions when faced with typical everyday life situations. It also makes us wonder how the little acts and decisions can easily make things fall apart in a matter of seconds. Although all the short stories were written by the same person (Damián Szifron), they were directed and produced by different people, which gives this movie a particularity not commonly found in the movie industry. In my opinion, the greatest thing about this movie is that is a roller coaster of emotions. We are invited to immerse the stories and to live together with the characters what they are experiencing. And although, the stories have different themes - drama, comedy, etc. - the one thing that connect all of them, without exception, is the vendetta. The next parts may contain spoilers, so read it with care. The revenge is shown to us in many different ways. We see it as in an old and maturated remorse and hate towards others (as it is displayed in the Pasternak's story) and we can also find some of it in The Rats, but the feeling of punishing the man that was responsible for the protagonist death didn't come from the girl, but for her coworker in the restaurant.On the other stories (The Strongest, Little Bomb and Till Death Do Us Apart), we see it as a mad driven feeling, but the difference is that something happened at that moment. Is a fresh action that triggered that feeling. Actually, even in the 5th story, The Proposal we can see it in the last, very last scene. The soundtrack is also incredible and it is in the hands of Gustavo Santaolalla, an Argentinian producer, and songwriter. His work can also be seen in other pre-staged movies ("Babel", "Into The Wild", "The Brokeback Mountain", "The Motorcycle Diaries") and also in the worldwide famous video game, "The Last of Us". To wrap it up, it's a full movie: you will cry from laughing, you will cry from sadness, you will feel shocked and also a little embarrassed. It's a movie that you can see with a relative, friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc. I just don't think it is well suited for children (since it can be a little violent and also have some sexual scenes).
