SHORT-LISTED : BEST FOREIGN-LANGUAGE FILM AT 2015 OSCARS
Co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar, this 2014 Argentine / Spanish black comedy is composed of six stand-alone shorts united by a common theme of violence and vengeance. In one, a waitress adds a special ingredient to an arrogant loan shark’s meal, in another two drivers on a lone highway have an argument with tragic consequences. Six tales dealing with extremes of human behaviour.
“Deliriously unhinged and uproarious, it’ll make you feel wretched about the world around you … but you’ll be having too much fun to care.” (Will Leitch – Deadspin)
