Kelham Island Film Club present another instalment of their ongoing series of Spanish language films in collaboration with the Sheffield Spanish Intercambio.
Wild Tales is a satirical, absurdist, dark comedy anthology film, written and directed by the Argentine filmmaker Damián Szifron. The film, which is a Spanish-Argentinian co-production, is composed of six standalone shorts with a common theme of catharsis, violence and vengeance. Four of the film's stories were partly based on Szifron's real-life experiences and were all planned either as thrillers or dramas.
The film received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for being a good example of an engaging anthology film, for its cast, humour, cinematography, and music. It won many accolades, including eight of ten Platino Awards, the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language, and the Goya Award for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, and for the Palme d'Or at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
Wild Tales is the most-seen Argentine film of all time and was a box-office record-holder in Argentina.
As always, ticket holders are privy to some insane drink deals.
Film starts 6:30pm.
