Revenge (2018)

Name: Revenge (2018)
Cast: Melanie Lutz

Hoezo in KINO

The male gaze gets a good kicking in this ultra-violent but oh-so-stylized revenge film by French director Coralie Fargeat (The Substance). The beautiful Melanie Lutz starts the film as a sex object for three shady characters as we have often seen on film, but her film role turns 180 degrees when she takes revenge on her attackers. Revenge is not for the faint of heart, but definitely recommended for those who can take a punch. Rough and campy, beautifully filmed and a solid hit among film festival goers and critics.

Storyline

Three wealthy married friends traditionally go on a men’s trip to the Grand Canyon. This time Richard has brought along his young mistress Jen, who quickly arouses the interest of the other two men. As an object of desire and completely isolated from the outside world, things quickly get out of hand for Jen. When she is abused and left for dead in the desert by the men, all she can think about is revenge.

REVENGE screened at the Imagine Film Festival and was described by the film festival as ‘female revenge that hasn’t been this entertaining and satisfying since KILL BILL’.
