Revanche

Two very different couples, one from the city and the other from the country, are bound together by unexpected twists of fate in this taut thriller about an ex-con, Alex, who plans to help his girlfriend, Tamara, escape from a brothel and the dark life in which they are trapped. Elegantly spinning primal elements of guilt, compassion, love, revenge, faith and redemption, Revanche asks, "Whose fault is it if life doesnt go your way?"

Recently nominated for an Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film, Revanche has been recognized with 14 other awards, including the Best Foreign Language Film of the Year Award at the 2009 Palm Springs International Film Festival, the Europa Cinemas Label as best European film at the 2008 Berlin Panorama, the Art-Cinma-Award 2008 of the CICAE and the Diagonale Prize as best Austrian film at the 2008 Diagonale.
