The violent instinct
"Relatos Selvagens" manages to transmit through short films the most diverse shades of violence existing, the violence contained over the years, the violence of revenge, the violence of occasion, the violence of omission, the violence provided by the system and the extrapolated violence.
The film can be visceral because it can easily put the viewer into the work and exposes how we will deal with the situation if we use violence, as when we discover a betrayal, or when we respond to a discussion in traffic or even when we are victims of state bureaucracy, everyone they have been through similar situations, and violence, one of the oldest and most permanent human instincts.
The direction of the shorts is good, each one with its particularities, some of them have a hot photo and a track in the best "Gaspar Noe" style, in others we have the construction going to the absurd in the most Lars Von Trier way, we feel the most diverse references in each historia, which complements a functional and very interesting film, is a collection without fear of exposing the absurd and how Machiavelli can be human nature.
