Wild Tales (2014)

Six standalone stories about ordinary people pushed one insult too far, from a road-rage duel between two motorists to a wedding reception that goes spectacularly off the rails. Damián Szifron writes revenge as slapstick with real teeth, so you laugh at the escalation and wince at how familiar the frustration feels. It is the easiest Argentine film to recommend to anyone, because the anthology format means a story you like less is soon over. It competed for the Palme d'Or at Cannes and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and in Argentina it became a genuine mass hit. Watch it with friends who argue about traffic.
