"It works because Spielmann has established that we're not watching belabored dramatic trajectories collide, but an encounter between two people in miles-away mindsets."

Gotz Speilmann's film is well-made, aptly characterised and seems frighteningly true to life.
May 6, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 -
It has a distinctive sort of Euro-hardcore sheen, mainly due to the superbly lucid, diamond-hard cinematography from Martin Gschlacht.

Aided by a terrific performance from Krisch and an exceptional ensemble cast, Revanche is a beautifully crafted psychological thriller that should firmly place Götz Spielmann on the world cinema map.

Audience Reviews for Revanche

Apr 20, 2014A gorgeous, sentimental, and somewhat existentialist drama about revenge, forgiveness, love, and devotion. Shot in mostly long, static shots without any musical score, Revanche is a film that will absorb and envelope you into its world, staying with you long after the credits have rolled.Edward B Super Reviewer

Apr 03, 2012Excellent film, the only thing out place is the amount of breasts shown. It wasn't off-putting, but I question if it was there for shock value or if it had some symbolic/expositional purpose. Other than that, everything else is truly well done. The script is great and halfway through the film I wondered if it was too theatrical/outlandish. But Spielmann's execution and pacing makes it all work amazingly well. The performances are also great in the film, Krisch is phenomenal as Alex. This is one of the best recently released films that I've seen.G S Super Reviewer

Aug 11, 2011This film starts out with a pretty interesting story and then just takes such a sharp turn. Every character has a problem, every character is well developed. This movie had me caring deeply for three people at once, which is something I can say I rarely feel in movies. In fact, by the end of the movie I felt that I went on the same emotional journey that Alex did. That's how good of a story Revanche tells.Alex M Super Reviewer

May 19, 2011Artfully directed and brilliantly acted, this is an amazing debut for Spielmann! Revanche shows people in realistic problems and circumstances and how they deal with and overcome them. The countryside is beautiful and has a stark contrast to that of the city. It's as if the nature and beauty observed represents the peace that Alex finally gains when he comes to terms with everything that has happened. We are left hopeful at the end of such a painful and hard journey. Highly Recommended!Chris B Super Reviewer
