Revanche (Götz Spielmann, 2008)

****
Austria



A credible, consummately crafted Euro art-thriller. Carefully premeditated - and perhaps a little too precisely, since you always know exactly where it's headed. But the scenes retain a charge all the same, largely thanks to writer-director Götz Spielmann's sure and subtle feeling for sound and composition and what they can reveal about things we can't necessarily see or hear.
