Short description

Six deadly stories that explore the extremities of human behaviour involving distressed people seeking revenge.

What's left behind the scenes

The seventh Argentine film nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category, and the third in a row starring Ricardo Darín. The first two nominated films starring this actor were “The Son of the Bride” by Juan José Campanella (2001) and “The Secret in Their Eyes” by the same director (2009).
The story 'Little Bomb' uses music from the television program 'Children's Health,' hosted by Mario Sokolinsky (1942-2007). It is the composition 'Aire Libre' (1973) by Drafi Deutscher and Günther Bayer performed by Lucien Belmont.
When the Audi driver is jostled by the seatbelt — you can notice that he is wearing knee pads.
During the opening credits, a photograph of an animal is shown next to the name of each member of the main cast and crew. In the case of director Damián Szifron, it’s a fox. The director later revealed that he chose this animal because his father adored foxes and never missed a documentary about them. He also admitted that he identifies with this animal, especially its gaze, because a director has “no business” being on set without a stern look.
One of the best films of 2014 according to Time magazine.
In the story, 'Little Bomb' features music from the television program 'Children's Health,' hosted by Mario Sokolinski (1942-2007). The piece is 'Aire Libre' (1973) by Draffi Deutscher and Günter Bayer, performed by Lucienne Belmont.
Damián Szifron, the screenwriter and director of the film, wrote the plots for many of the stories featured in the film while lying in the bathtub. “It’s a great place to write,” he later said. While working on the script in the bathtub, he sometimes lit candles and had a drink.
In the computer game This Is The Police, one of the police calls contains a reference to the 'Strongest' story from this film. The call repeats the main elements of the plot, however, the setting and the ending differ significantly: in the game, the action takes place in the forested areas of North America, and the incident does not end with the death of both participants.
When the Peugeot driver, trying to get out of the overturned car, kicks out the rear door window, it doesn't shatter into pieces, but breaks like ordinary glass. In the next frame, the window is whole.
As stated on screen, the bridge in the film “The Strongest” is located at the 60th kilometer of the road between Cafayate and Salta. Now this place attracts many tourists. It can be found at coordinates (25°43'50.4"S 65°41'48.5"W).
The seventh Argentine film nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category, and the third in a row starring Ricardo Darín. The first two nominated films starring this actor were Juan José Campanella's Son of the Bride (2001) and The Secret in Their Eyes by the same director (2009).
When the character 'Gabriel Pasternak' is first mentioned in the story 'Pasternak,' this character emerges from behind a curtain at the back of the airplane cabin with a cup of coffee in his hand. He walks past the model and the music critic and goes into the cockpit. Later, a flight attendant starts a conversation about this character.
In the pastry shop that Simon enters in the story 'Little Bomb,' a wedding cake from the story 'Till Death Do Us Part' is on display.
The original screenplay for the film was 84 pages long, and the plots of the stories were presented in a different order. There was also a seventh story called “Bonus”.
Damian Cifron, the film's screenwriter and director, wrote the plots for many of the stories featured in the movie while lying in a bathtub. 'It's a great place for writing,' he later said. While working on the script in the tub, he would sometimes light candles and have a drink.
In the story 'Pasternak,' a passenger sleeping in the seat in the same row as the music critic never wakes up until the very end.
During the opening credits, a picture of an animal is shown next to the name of each main cast member and crew member. In the case of director Damian Cifron, it is a fox. As the director later explained, he chose this animal because his father loved foxes and never missed a single documentary about them. Additionally, he admitted that he identifies with this animal, especially its gaze, because a director has 'no business' on a film set without a stern look.
When the Audi driver takes tools out of the trunk to change a tire, reflections of two crew members can be seen in the left brake light.
