| Quote: | Revanche is a 2008 Austrian film written and directed by Götz Spielmann. It stars Johannes Krisch as a man robbed of his purpose and deadened by thoughts of revenge in the wake of a crime that was to grant him and his girlfriend a new life.
The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2008. It received critical acclaim and won a number of awards, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film 2009.
Synopsis: At once a gripping thriller and a tragic drama of nearly Greek proportions, Revanche is the stunning, Oscar–nominated, international breakthrough film from Austrian filmmaker Götz Spielmann. In a... At once a gripping thriller and a tragic drama of nearly Greek proportions, Revanche is the stunning, Oscar–nominated, international breakthrough film from Austrian filmmaker Götz Spielmann. In a ragged section of Vienna, hardened ex-con Alex (the mesmerizing Johannes Krisch) works as an assistant in a brothel, where he falls for Ukrainian hooker Tamara (Irina Potapenko). Their desperate plans for escape unexpectedly intersect with the lives of a rural cop (Andreas Lust) and his seemingly content wife (Ursula Strauss). With meticulous, elegant direction, Spielmann creates a tense, existential, and surprising portrait of vengeance and redemption, and a journey into the darkest forest of human nature, in which violence and beauty exist side by side. --© Janus Films

Copy-pasted my comment from last watched thread 
Revanche (2008) 9/10 - A german "revenge" movie about an ex-con that works in a strip-bar, who plans to take his girlfriend away after a robbery. I'm not gonna mention anything more, but this is not your regular revenge movie, it's a deep characterization of several personas. Should not be missed!
