“The undeniable pleasure of losing control”, says IMDB, have you ever felt it? acted upon it? I surely have… and more than once! Boringly enough, not quite to such deliciously dark extremes, as the ones presented by this movie.
This Oscar nominated film in the category of Foreign Language is superb! In lieu of waiting for divine justice, these six short stories make you root for rebellion, a come back, an eye for an eye, a revenge. In some cases, long awaited karma gets the job done while in others, karma is the unforeseen twist on an deceiving situation.
With an excellent cast, this movie excels at portraying the degrees of abuse imposed to society from different sources: damage inflicted to a person self-esteem, corruption that steals what is yours, white collar / blue collar mutual resentment, a government that is not to serve you but to be served by you, getting away with murder, and the social notion of funnel by gender.
My favorites of the six? the road rage, the drunk driver, and the two of a kind wedding.
