The film "Revanche" from Austria was nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The ex-convict

Alex planned to rob a bank alone, and then went away with his prostitute girlfriend Tamara, but the plan ended in a fork. I had some

expectations for this film, the film The first paragraph is also good, the rhythm is moderate, the characters are clear, there are some ups and downs, and then it starts to be confusing in the middle, as if losing focus. That paragraph is right after the hero and heroine robbed the bank. It dragged for a while and didn't know what the director wanted .It 's

not that there is no merit in the movie, especially how Tamara died suddenly, the camera did not explain directly, the director's handling of this trick is very good.

Johannes Krisch who played Alex played very well, I didn't expect that he would be so sad if he was rough, very It's worth watching. The beautiful Tamara (Irina Potapenko) makes the movie's opening scene a lot.

The role of Ursula Strauss as the policeman's wife Susanne is a bit ridiculous, and many viewers can't help but laugh. Is it the director's deliberate humor or what?

But there is also more to the role of Susanne. After wondering for a while in the middle of the film, her appearance makes the audience re-engaged in the plot.

Andreas Lust, who plays police officer Robert, also plays well. His embarrassment in the bank robbery and his emotions after the accident Ups and downs are two expressions, and he masters them both very well.

Alex is bent on disrupting the life of a police officer and getting a big revenge. As a result, Susanne's unexpected behavior adds "color" to Alex's plan.

The result is the most regrettable and Maybe not just Robert, but Susanne?

Personally, I don't think this film deserves the Best Foreign Language Film nomination series.
