Damián Szifron's "Relatos salvajes" ("Wild Tales" in English) features a couple of stories focusing on people who want revenge and use violence to achieve their ends. The best vignette is the one starring Ricardo Darín as a man intent on not paying his parking tickets.

I previously saw Darín in the Oscar-winning "Secrets in Their Eyes", set on the verge of Argentina's Dirty War. That one and this one suggest to me that Argentina has a vibrant film industry, and I would like very much to see more movies from there, a pronounced advancement from the Dirty War (the Kirchner and Fernandez presidencies probably helped). The hilarious satire that is "Wild Tales" deserves every award that it's won. I highly recommend it.
