Wild Tales (2014)

Let me start by stating this... Best. Wedding. In. A. Movie. Ever. Wild Tales is a Hispanic masterpiece of timeless storytelling. I found two of the six short stories (restaurant and rich family) slightly weaker than the brilliant other four (airplane, cars, parking ticket and wedding), otherwise I'd have been tempted to give this movie five out of five stars. The stories are so original and imaginative, I take my hat off for the creators. Wild Tales is like Night on Earth by Jim Jarmusch, but better in my humble opinion, featuring some of the bittersweetest black humor I've seen in a film for quite a while. I'd go as far as calling this a black humor equivalent to maestro Kurosawa's Dreams.
