"Revenge Revanche" is a film released by Jaus Films in 2008, and the film won the CICAE and European Film Awards at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival.
Founded in 1956, Janus Films is the first American distribution company to focus on art films. It educated the American public that movies are not just entertainment, but pure art. It introduced a large number of excellent art film works from the French New Wave, Germany, Italy, Japan, etc. to the United States at that time, including Michelangelo Antonioni, Sergey Eisenstein, Ingmar Bergman, Fellini , Kurosawa, Francois Truffaut, Ozu Yasujiro and many other famous director's films. These art films challenge the audience's established perceptions, depicting the relatively heavy issues of war, death and human nature with a free attitude.
50 Years of Janus Films . The New York Film Festival specially dedicated this theme to the newly renovated 35mm prints, showing Truffaut's "The Four Hundred Blows" and "Zu and Zhan", Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", Agnès · Varda's "Cleo at Five to Seven", Jean Renoir's "Rules of the Game" and Bergman's "Wild Strawberries" and other master masterpieces.
The film tells the story of a prostitute and a man at the bottom of society. Talking about love in a brothel is a luxury, and any transaction is a business. This small environment is the epitome of the dark side of society, which is also the drawback of civilized life. Loneliness is also a common phenomenon in industrial society. People who lack communication will hit it off, and if they lack understanding, they will go their separate ways. In addition to the theme of revenge, the film is more about showing how a person can find himself after losing himself.
In love, Alex and Tamara find a new life:
Alex once stole and went to jail to miss his father's funeral, and even his girlfriend Tamara, who was in debt and turned into a prostitute, couldn't save it. Their only dignity to survive in this city is also lost, so they decide to rob a bank together, and Tamara is mistakenly killed in the process. After the storm, Alex moved into a quiet life in the countryside. Non-stop labor to fill the inner restlessness. And thus had a second chance in his life.
Robert's wife Susannah is looking for a change in married life:
Because of Robert, Susannah was unable to conceive a child, which was the crux of their marriage. The unhappy Susannah could only pin her spirits on listening to the old man playing the accordion. The appearance of Alex is another outlet of her life.
Murder cop Robert is looking for an excuse to escape his mistakes:
"But I have something to ask him. Why did he take the girl in the first place? The girl didn't drive to help him escape, he robbed the bank alone, there was no point in taking the girl, why would he take her like an outing? The whole thing It happened because the girl was there for no reason. That's what I'm asking him about."
What people fear most is that they will blame themselves when they do something wrong. They will unconsciously blame others, like Alex and Robert. This is also the true meaning of the so-called revenge. And when he understood this truth, he had a second life. Either stay like this steadily, or seek another outlet for life.
