Dark as hell and so very funny, this Argentine film is an anthology of shorter stories — think Pulp Fiction without the crisscrossing — the segments bound together instead by a shared theme of people at their breaking point. Writer and director Damián Szifrón has razor-sharp timing — the first sequence, which takes place entirely before the opening credits, builds to an applause-worthy punchline, while the last story is set at a wedding that goes terribly, wonderfully wrong. In between, there’s murder, a cover-up, and parking, with an undercurrent of class consciousness that never interferes with how bitterly enjoyable this movie
