Review of Revanche

Revanche (2008)
10/10
perfect in any sense of it
18 March 2009
i saw that movie and should say that i am going to watch it again many times as it is just thrilling and stunning as it could possibly be despite of being primarily about just ordinary people lives.

and yet it is truly a masterpiece and it is a shame that it did not get an Oscar, probably other nominators were quite competitive.

there is no need to tell about the plot and the background of it. it is pretty ordinary (and that probably makes it quite realistic) so it could have happened everywhere and not just in Austria and so it applies to the main characters.

the key word for that movie is imperfect (yet i still believe that movie itself is excellent) that nothing is perfect or ideal and people always make mistakes and if something may go wrong it will definitely go wrong.

because we are human beings after all - with our emotions, irrational thinking, affections, etc. we can't be just logical and cold and pragmatic thinkers all the time - no one can actually, yet there are some exceptions who just prove the general rule.

i encourage everyone to watch and enjoy every moment and scene of it without concentrating on other trivial moments such as East-European prostitutes and human trafficking, etc. of course i do not doubt that those things are significant but this is not the case, that is just a background.
