I’ve decided to break the alphabetical ordering of my film selections this week and jump all the way from B and over to W, with the film Wild Tales. I figured that it might be nice to follow on from last week’s anthology film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs with another anthology film. Rest assured that though I may have temporarily broken the alphabetical ordering of my schedule, this week’s film still very much fits within my overall ‘Great Films Season’ theme.
