The Goya Awards, also known as los Premios Goya, are Spain’s annually held film awards. This weekend, the movie “Relatos salvajes” (2014) (translated as “Wild Tales”) directed by the Argentine film and televisión director Damián Szifrón, won the Goya Award for the Best Foreign Film in the Spanish language (El Premio Goya a la mejor película iberoamericana). Damián Szifrón was born on July 9, 1975 in Ramos Mejía, Buenos Aires.
The Argentine movie was competing against “Conducta” (Cuba), “Kaplan” (Uruguay) and “La distancia más larga” (Venezuela).
The movie is divided into six different parts which all compose a story about people losing control in a culture of corruption, economic and social inequality and in-justice. Although the stories deal with serious subject matter, they all have comical twist.
