“Wild Tales” Wins The Majority of The Platino Awards

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

It’s good to see that one of the best dark comedies this year in any language took home a bunch of statuettes at a least one awards ceremony.

Hailing from Argentina, one of the best films we saw this year was Wild Tales from Damian Szifron. The balance between being unapologetically dark and absurdly hysterical is so wonderful throughout the handful of stories thematically connected in the film.

The Platino Awards honors achievement in Ibero-American film spanning 13 categories, 8 of which were won by Wild Tales. This sweep included awards for best film, best director, and best screenplay.

Hopefully, this will spell out more good things to come from Szifron in the not so distant future.

Of the Oscar nominated pictures in the Foreign Language Film category this year, Damián Szifron’s Wild Tales (titled Relatos Salvajes when originally released in Argentina) presented by Pedro Almodovar stands out as it combines a bits of a comedy and a thriller in a few stories that represent a revenge anthology. The premise kind of reminds us a little of the brilliant Seven Psychopaths from Martin McDonagh.

See what we’re talking about in the trailer here and if your interest has been peaked, you can perhaps catch Wild Tales in limited release this Fri. Feb. 20th.
