2. Wild Tales
“Wild Tales” starts with the most arresting and darkly funny opening sequence of the year, one with two strangers striking up a conversation on a plane. It’s consistently funny, and Szifron helms with real style and flair that suggests Hollywood will be calling but it’s not just bells and whistles: the helmer builds up a picture of inequality and class divide in modern Argentina that shows he has something to say, not just a brilliant way of saying it.
