I was curious to see this movie right after seeing an ad on InstagramHey,guys. So,given the fact that I had nothing to do on Sunday,I decided to watch the movie 'Revenge',the independent R-Rated movie from Writer/Director Coralie Fargeat.
I was curious to see this movie right after seeing an ad on Instagram and I was interested in it,especially given the rating. And in my opinion,Revenge is a movie whose R-Rating is used in the most graphic and violent way that not even the Tarantino movies would try to do. Not a single frame from this straight-forward plot gets consumed without something splatting its way out of someone's body with the most ridiculous amount of g...Oil Splatter I've ever seen,It could probably make someone check out in the first 20-25 Minutes. This does also have the look and feel of an independent movie,but whenever an action sequence would pop-up,it feels like an American production all of a sudden,and if I said ''straight-forward'' with the plot,it's because sometimes I didn't find myself invested with the plot,already knowing what was going to happen. Although every one of those men gets enough writing to the point to where you're scared of what is this character going to do next. Speaking of the acting,I feel like this should've been Matilda Lutz's first role instead of Rings. She manages to encapsulate the total badassery that every action hero should get. Probably one that I didn't see a long time ago (like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2). Overall,this is a pretty enjoyable R-Rated action movie,that will be able to please everyone wanting some Oil Splattering moments here and there for the entire picture.
It's my favourite action movie of 2018 so far,that's for sure.… Expand

Meanwhile,Relentlessly brutal and radiating with style, Revenge is a movie that hauls its audience through a ride almost too extreme to handle. The story may be basic and rather predictable but it is rich with symbolism and vibrant themes. Meanwhile, the stylistic imagery and vivid flow of the movie raise the experience to a highly memorable level. Likewise, the entire cast (lead by Matilda Lutz) strikes the difficult balance of authenticity and exaggeration. Overall, the vision of Coralie Fargeat (writer/director) is clear.

Whether you like exotic cinematic moments that artfully build connection or you prefer breakneck action that will have you at the edge of your seat, Revenge is a film that flawlessly switches gears and drowns its viewers in its vile situations. Some may call Revenge too flashy for its own good but those viewers are missing the point. Among other messages, Revenge is about the union between beauty & ugliness which it packs together into a powerful punch. Sexy and sickening, if you’re ready for the wicked, check out Revenge.

It also helps that the two leads are very easy on the eye. Early scenes command attention and interest is kept high as one contemplates just where events will lead. However, the hunting down of culprits goes on for far too long to the overall detriment of the film.

I decided to give it aI found it very disheartening to read a lot of comments on the trailer for this movie decrying it as "feminist propaganda" and claiming that the same story with reversed gender roles would cause riots in the streets. I decided to give it a go, and I must say that while imperfect, it is very good both as a technical piece, as well as a feminist message. As a technical piece, I think that it has a very unique and defined style that might turn some people off, but is overall quite enjoyable. It actually isn't that fast-paced, but when the action picks up it is very well executed and suspenseful. There is minimal dialogue, and so a lot of the allure comes from the acting (which is stellar - so much of the film relies on body language and facial expressions in order to communicate, not just dialogue), and from the overall aesthetic of the film. The dry, hot, seemingly endless desert is a perfect backdrop, and we really get a sense of the desperation that all the characters feel. Again, it did lag in some parts, but they were few and far between, and the action was very well executed. I would say the style is roughly similar to a movie like Drive: color palettes, cinematography, and minimal dialogue all contribute to the visual storytelling, and it could even be described as minimalist. As a feminist message, I felt this movie truly excelled. This part of the review partially works to refute some of the criticisms I've heard, many of which come from people who haven't even seen the movie, only the trailer! Basically, the three male characters are very humanized. That is to say that many of us - myself included - know men who exhibit some of the characteristics that these men exhibit. I also think the film does a good job of making each male character very different from the other two, and so they all have their own version of misogyny that is distinct, yet still very common in society. I am a man, and cannot speak to how women interact with men, but I am guessing that many women have had interactions quite similar to the interactions that the female protagonist has with the male characters. Thus, it was very realistic, but it wasn't there for the sake of it. Each character has a purpose, and role within the story, and it reflects the many kinds of sexism that women have to deal with. One criticism has been that the film is not realistic, and if you watch the trailer you would know why (and I will admit, in real life someone probably wouldn't survive such a fall). But I think that this is a really flimsy argument, and something you don't see much of with other movies. I've seen a short video describing how there are some 10 instances in Die Hard when John McClane, had he been a real person, would have died - but we don't care, because it's an action movie and it's exciting and the point of the story isn't to be a documentary, but rather to have us grip the edge of our seats throughout. This movie is the same: It isn't trying to be a documentary, and it knows that it is somewhat sensationalizing the actions on the screen. The fact of the matter is that many women are not only assaulted, but they are ignored, or are silenced, and are bullied for what they have been through. This film not only shows how truly debilitating that is, and how frustrating it is to have so many men working to drag them down, but also how it takes an immense amount of pain tolerance and willpower to overcome it, and achieve justice. It is not just the literal story of a woman seeking revenge on her attackers, but it is a visual representation of what so many survivors of assault go through in a non-literal sense. The protagonist is incredibly strong, resilient, and intelligent. She does things I could never do simply because I am too weak. And sadly, there are many women who are unable to fight back the way that she does, for a whole multitude of reasons, many of which have a lot more to do with systems of oppression, and not the qualities of said woman. I see no reason why this woman should not be praised - she is raped, left for dead, alone, and she does not give up. Anyone who does not cheer for that has something wrong with them, in my opinion. Obviously, you do not /have/ to like this movie. There are many people who I'm sure have very legitimate complaints about its style, pacing, lack of dialogue, etc. However, I thought it was a very well-made film, and I think that if you are a feminist like I am you should definitely watch it. It has some very interesting ideas for a film with so little to the story, and I think a lot of people could learn a little bit if they watched this film. Even if you are not a feminist, you might just enjoy the movie as a heart-racing rape and revenge thriller flick, and you might get a better understanding as to why so many of us view feminism as so important.… Expand

Revenge

The technical aspects oozes raw gut-wrenching man-to-man action that one may assume is familiar with, but definitely not like this, for make-up artist, choreography and cinematography in here is mesmerizing as well as cringe worthy. The writing is not something out-of-the-box which the makers were aware of, henceforth directing all their big guns to the screenplay and fine detailing of the characters and the world they reside in. Coralie Fargeat is the real gem of this feature whose brilliant screenplay and execution skills; despite of her debut as a director for a major motion feature, is utterly beautiful, thought-provoking and metaphorical. The performance is the only branch that is undergrown than its surrounding, having said that the work that went behind it is genuinely appreciative if not effective by Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz. Revenge is; contrary to all the ruffled visuals and the core premise, a poetic feature that breeds the essential queries and answers with bold unflinching statements that justifies the action like never before.… Expand

Writer-director Coralie Fargeat holds absolutely nothing back in this thriller as she utilizes every possible tool of graphicness to thrust viewers into a state of discomforting distress that is grotesquely fitting for a story of violence and vengeance such as this.

The plot itself never moves beyond its bare-bones state: woman is assaulted and left for dead, survives, then goes on a rampage seeking retribution. That's essentially all this film is. But although it's simplistic in its story, the way it tells that story is seamless and visually spectacular. The cinematography and music shift throughout the film in such a way that every scene is tied together to articulate the harsh transition that Jen makes from sheltered socialite to hardened survivor. This is a film about survival, and the plot is advanced using very little dialogue and lots of detailed visual cues. This visual storytelling would not work without actors that are capable of such a vast array of emotion that says everything about their characters without using words. Because of the cast's talent, the plot flows seamlessly.

That being said, all disbelief must be suspended during Revenge, and this is does not work out in the film's favor. The violence is so over-the-top in its blood and gore that it removes much of the sense of tension. The characters lose such crazy amounts of blood and it they don't seem to be nearly as adversely affected by it as they should; thus it takes away much of the fear for the heroine's safety. It seems that anything can happen to her and she will be completely fine. The villains also make several careless decisions that serve only to advance the plot.

On the other hand, the rest of the non-gory aspects of the film display admirable realism: without spoiling anything, Jen fires a shotgun for the first time and the recoil actually knocks her off her feet, etc. It acknowledges the weaknesses of real people and it helps make up for the other absurd elements of the film. Revenge is a crazy thrill ride that is very much not for the faint of heart and it certainly does not make for pleasant, casual viewing.

The beautifully shot and engrossing revenge thriller "Revenge" takes a bit of suspension of disbelief when the big twist happens. If you can get past that, the protagonist channels Mad Max and you'll ultimately enjoy the ride.

Quelle surprise que ce film français tourné dans un désert américain avec en tout et pour tout deux comédiens français et deux comédiens américains dont la fille, héroïne impromptue et involontaire d'un dérapage parti dans les grandesQuelle surprise que ce film français tourné dans un désert américain avec en tout et pour tout deux comédiens français et deux comédiens américains dont la fille, héroïne impromptue et involontaire d'un dérapage parti dans les grandes largeurs et dans la poussière !

Heureusement qu'il est réalisé par une femme, car sinon, on en aurait entendu et vu et revu (des polémiques indignées et des cris d'orfraie : quel macho, quel salaud, quel obsédé, ce sale type, qui filme le cul de son actrice au lieu de faire du cinéma ! quelle honte...) mais détendez-vous, il s'agit de Coralie Fargeat qui filme le cul de son actrice mais pas seulement : elle film aussi le cul de son acteur (mais bien moins souvent quand même).

Quoi qu'il en soit, on adhère sans réserve aux plans nombreux du beau petit cul, quasiment tout au long du film, le fait étant que la "Tomb Raider" improvisée n'était pas trop habillée (un petit bas et un petit haut) lorsque les ennuis ont commencé. Et dire que les films "Tomb Raider" sont aussi chiants et convenus que la pluie, aussi coincés du fion qu'une amiche cadenassée à triple tour !

Mais l'action et la survie se déploient pendant ce temps-là, tandis que la cocotte qui tortille du derrière, va passer du statut de proie à celui de chasseresse. Jane, qu'elle s'appelle, Jane Rambo je crois, à la façon qu'elle a de se "réparer" avec un couteau et... (c'est une surprise). Mais les gars aussi vont en chier des ronds de chapeau, car s'il est des choses dans ce nanar de qualité -qui s'assume jusqu'au bout- ce sont les hectolitres de sang !

Indéniablement violent donc et très efficace malgré une mise en scène parfois un peu agitée (on ne court pas avec une caméra, bon sang !) mais ça reste rare, le reste s'avère de bon aloi et même un peu plus que ça, avec quelques efforts d'inventivité au niveau des plans et cadrages.

Bien entendu, sa faiblesse est aussi sa force, à savoir que les invraisemblances (nombreuses) laissent incrédules mais loin de s'en écarter, le film y plonge sans y regarder à deux fois : l'excès est son crédo ! et l'humour (qu'il soit vraiment involontaire ou non...) fournit de bonnes tranches de rire à intervalles plus ou moins réguliers. Qu'est-ce qu'on se bidonne...

En fait, j'ai repensé à ce bon vieux Commando (avec Schwarzynator) en regardant Revenge : on y retrouve la même violence décomplexée et les mêmes excès. La musique est dans les deux cas, excellente, ce qui leur fait un autre point commun.

Donc une belle réussite pour un film paradoxalement très féministe : notre bombasse allumeuse y devient une furie d'une volonté implacable : on l'admire et on la respecte, surtout qu'elle a bien plus de personnalité que cette grognasse de Lara Croft finalement.… Expand

With that out of the way, this film was a treat to watch. Cinematography, Choreography, Accompanying score, but the delivery by the non-native English speakers was really stilted and awkward. This film does require one to suspend their disbelief, as it is hardly plausible that the girl would neither die on impact nor from blood loss. Despite this, the scene where the ant is being rained on by blood, and the scene where they are following the blood trails were very well done and helped spice up the shot composition. The reincorporation that this film used caught me off guard. This is because the way that the drugs were introduced felt truly natural. It felt like an additional factor to accentuate the disparity in wealth and morals between the lead girl and the cast of men. Even with this being an engaging thriller, I felt it still had something to say. These things being, more or less; wealthy being exempt from laws and not blowing the whistle on others of wealth. Some scenes that I felt embodied this imparticular were the rape scene and the tarantula pee scene. I thought the dream sequence was really good, and the binoculars transition fit in well too. There was a definite 'man is an animal' motif, that at times was a bit too blatant, but still fitting, and powerful. The entirety of the third act was good, the false scare with the pool cleaner helped show the tangible nature of the tension at the time. I really enjoyed the use of the tv playing amidst the final chase. I enjoyed the scene where she was running in circles chasing her limping assailant, this was especially aided by the blood slowly blocking out her vision, and by proxy, the lens too. The ending was quite good with the sudden look back and the helicopter sound. I recommend this movie to fans if action films and horror films alike. Overall a pretty great movie.… Expand

Jen (a superb Matilda Lutz) and her married lover Richard (Kevin Janssens) are enjoying a romantic weekend in his isolated house in the desert. However, shortly after they arrive, Richard's friends, Stan (Vincent Colombe), Dimitri (Guillaume Bouchède), and Roberto (Jean-Louis Tribes) show up unannounced, urging Richard to join them on a hunting trip. As tension mounts in the house, Stan rapes Jen, but when she says she is going to go to the police, and to alert Richard's wife of his affair, the men attack her and leave her for dead. However, unbeknownst to them, she survives the assault, and has set out on revenge.

Very much in the vein of films such as Strawdogs (1971) and I Spit On Your Grave (1978), Revenge is an insanely gory rape-revenge thriller. In her feature debut, writer/director Coralie Fargeat displays an astonishing visual panache as she re-appropriates this exploitative sub-genre for the post #MeToo era. From the expansive Ford-esque vistas of the desert to the claustrophobic and labyrinthine finale, her visual language is as dexterous and thematically justified as one would expect from a master stylist such as Michael Mann. The film is very much about the dangers and darker implications of the male gaze, and the way Fargeat's constantly moving camera lingers on actress Matilda Lutz's half-naked body is deeply unsettling, challenging the audience to look at her in the same way the male characters do, before turning this notion on its head in the second half of the film. If you can ignore the plot contrivances, and stomach the gore, you will find a socially relevant film that is as auspicious a debut as you're likely to see all year.… Expand

Revenge
Las mujeres siempre tienen que plantar cara
Pocas veces se ajusta una clara caligrafía en el dominio del lenguaje cinematográfico en una ópera prima; Revenge es la excepción. Escrita y dirigida por la directora y guionista francesaRevenge
Las mujeres siempre tienen que plantar cara

Pocas veces se ajusta una clara caligrafía en el dominio del lenguaje cinematográfico en una ópera prima; Revenge es la excepción. Escrita y dirigida por la directora y guionista francesa Coraline Fargeat, Revenge pone de manifiesto el poder de la transformación femenina en un contexto puramente masculino mediante multitud de metáforas y guiños al cine de acción y sus derivados, tanto tarantinescos o carpenterianos como de la más pura serie B.

Tres socios se reúnen en una casa en pleno desierto para organizar una jornada de caza, pero en esta ocasión uno de ellos se ha llevado a una “amiguita”. Este es el planteamiento de Revenge, una ópera prima que ha puesto patas arriba el género de acción con su potente e impresionante violencia extrema ligada al humor.

El viaje es el de siempre: alguien hace algo malo a una inocente, el público se pone de parte de la víctima, y esta vuelve muy cabreada a devolver golpes. De eso se trata. Coraline Fargeat cambia varios paradigmas de este género atiborrándolo de un estilo visual poderoso, aporta a su protagonista una sensibilidad femenina y llena de talento su proceso de transformación de manera simbólica y expresionista, dando más importancia a las sensaciones que a lo que realmente está pasando. Aquí yacen los verdaderos valores de la obra, en cómo arruinar la vida de unos miserables con estilo propio y un crecimiento en el personaje de Jen (Matilda Lutz), excelentemente contado de forma progresiva y según las necesidades de la historia y del propio género.

Revenge posee la esencia del western con toques de cine gore y secuencias tan excesivamente grotescas que acaban haciéndote reír. Una obra magnífica que, más que otras, merece la pena ver en la gran pantalla por su magnífico montaje, en el que también ha participado la propia directora, y la excepcional dirección de fotografía de Robrecht Heyvaert.

“Las mujeres siempre tenéis que plantar cara”, grita embadurnado de sangre uno de los antagonistas de esta película mientras agarra del cuello a Jen, ese monstruo convertido en una nueva heroína moderna gracias a la directora Coraline Fargeat.… Expand

The whole story is about Jen (fearlessly embodied by Matilda Lutz, Rings) is enjoying a romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend which is suddenly disrupted when his sleazy friends arrive for an unannounced hunting trip. Tension mounts in the house until the situation abruptly--and viciously--intensifies, culminating in a shocking act that leaves Jen left for dead. Unfortunately for her assailants, Jen survives and reemerges with a relentless, wrathful intent: revenge.

As an hour and 48 minutes movie, the story was fine. It wasn't that shocking or surprising one, I mean if you watched the trailer before watching the movie, you will figure out the whole story.

I went to watch Revenge and I know that it's not gonna be nothing less or more than just a dump movie, but it did surprise me, with its way of vengeance, performances and the places of filming.

OK, the story was really lite, nothing awesome about it, it was just okay. But -and there must be a but- the direction blow the whole thing up, with a terrible soundtrack, the presentation went ridiculous! The first act (the plot) was good, enough as presenting the story and the characters. The second act (the beginning of Jen's transformation) was good as the middle chapter. The third act (the finale) was super-predictable, but still entertaining.

The performances were really good, especially Matilda Lutz, I can't wait to see her having her own action high-budget movie.

The places of filming were really catching, but once again the direction blew the whole thing up.. Coralie Fargeat, please, don't direct any other movie again!

And now, the most over-made thing is the blood, it's not only brutal, it was totally unscientific, and the whole movie is unscientific! Those are the issues I found in Revenge, and the good things too.

I'm gonna give Revenge a B+.

Os momentos de tensão são únicos, com surpresas que te deixam sem ar. A violência é gráfica é insana, onde há momentos que te deixam enojado, quase que sentindo a dor do personagem. A fotografia é bela, passando muito bem o ponto de vista do personagem ou a própria imensidade do deserto - algumas vezes, sua beleza. O elenco está muito bem escalado, com todos os atores dando boas interpretações.

Porém, o que realmente chama atenção aqui é a direção da Cineasta Coralie Fargeat. O foco na reação dos personagens, a violência retratada, o jogo de edição feito em algumas cenas. É realmente fantástico. Uma trama extremamente básica simplesmente reimaginada. Fora que aqui não há militância, e tudo que a diretora quer mostrar está em tela, o que aumenta ainda mais minha admiração pela mesma.… Expand
