Shweta Basu Prasad’s Digital Playlist: Wild Tales will keep you on the edge of your seat

Logline: Six stories of revenge and retribution make up this anthology of darkly comic tales involving road rage, infidelity, poison and civil disobedience.

Warning: Rated Adult. Contains: nudity, language and sex.

The film starts with an airplane story where all the passengers seem to know one particular person, it turns out that the pilot is that person, and all the passengers are the ones who had hurt him at some point in his life, the story ends with the plane crashing at the pilot’s parents’ backyard. The following five stories have the common violence and vengeance theme, although completely distinct. From a bride discovering that her groom had been cheating on her at their wedding or a road rage of two drivers fighting each other for over taking (personal favorite), this film doesn’t let you blink your eye and keeps the audience at the edge of the seat.

Wild Tales won BAFTA Award for best non-English film, Academy Award for best foreign-language film and the Palme d’Or at the 2014 Cannes film festival. The film rates 8.1 on IMDB and 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. You cannot miss the wild tales this week.
