Relatos salvajes (Wild tales)
Crit
My second Oscar®-nominated film of the weekend, this one Argentina's candidate for best foreign film. Aptly named, this wicked suite of stories about violent impulses acted on with gusto, never again flies quite as high as the pretitle segment, a beautifully compact tale worthy of a seriously perverse O. Henry, but each tale of the redress of affronted justice is satisfying to one degree or another, and the finale, about a wedding gone very, very wrong, is a worthy bookend.
Trailers
- The Water Diviner--A clunkily titled film starring Russell Crowe as the bereaved title character.
- The Salt of the Earth--Yet another Oscar® nominee, a Wim Wenders documentary (codirected with the subject's son) about the photographer Sebastião Salgado.
- Merchants of Doubt--A documentary about professional liars engaged by climate change deniers and others with a vested interest in deception.
