Wild Things is an anthology of short stories, all between
10-30 minutes long which have revenge as their thematic inspiration and a lace of black comedy which runs through each segment.
The quality and humour of the stories varies from chapter
to chapter, with arguably the best saved for last, when a bride gets her own back on her cheating husband during their wedding reception.
Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film of
2014, it's actually a bit of a dishonour that it didn't emerge victorious.
