    Revanche (Götz Spielmann, 2008)

    Tamara is a prostitute from the Ukraine, Alex is an ex-con who works as a bouncer in her Vienna brothel. They're having a secret affair, and lack the nerve to challenge the reprehensible pimp who rules their world. Alex plots an "easy" bank robbery, and brings her along in the getaway car. It goes wrong. He hides on the farm of his proud old grandfather, who lives alone, mourns his wife, feeds his friends the cows. Alex meets Susanne, a friendly neighbor's wife, and loneliness confronts with tragic coincidence. A 2009 Oscar nominee.
    Trying to get my hands on this one, looks very good. Made Ebert's top 10 list of foreign films for 2009.
    I know its getting a Criterion release here very soon.
Working...
