Oscars 2015: 10 Movies That Should Be Nominated For Best Picture

6. Wild Tales

Easily the least well known film on this list, Wild Tales is an insane ride that once you have taken, you will never forget. Directed by relative newcomer Damian Szifron, Wild Tales is an Argentine anthology of six stories dealing with different social aspects of everyday life in Argentina. The film's tone is pitch black comedy, and the karmic justice served up to each stories' characters almost gives Wild Tales a Twilight Zone-esque feel, minus the supernatural elements. Among the film's six vignettes, there isn't a weak one in the bunch. Some may be a little bit stronger than others, but all of them stand up on their own merits, demanding your attention as you try to guess what crazy thing will happen next. From a scary "coincidence" on a plane, to a crime committed at a restaurant, to an incident of road rage that gets terribly out of hand, to a citizen fed up with inane government bureaucracy, to a cover-up of a tragic crime, to the world's most disastrous wedding in the history of weddings, every single story is forever sketched in your mind. The film is impeccably written and under all the hilariously bleak comedy, there is a lot of interesting social commentary. Technically, the film is also quite marvelous, with beautiful cinematography from Javier Julia that gives the film the perfect aesthetic mix of realism and farce. Wild Tales is really a gem of a movie that should be seen by all fans of dark comedies. Just in case you aren't sold yet, there is literally a scene of a man taking a dump on a car. So... it has that going for it.
