Revenge
Eine Protzvilla im Nirgendwo: Gewaltige Fensterscheiben gewähren Blicke ins Innere, eine blau, eine rosa getönt. Mit dieser irreführend konventionellen Gender-Farbkodierung ist man mittendrin in dem blutigen Triebtanz, den Coralie Fargeat in ihrem radikalen Regiedebüt anzettelt. Revenge erzählt von der jungen Jen, die von den Vasallen ihres windigen Liebhabers vergewaltigt und von einer Klippe geschmissen wird. Was dann geschieht, macht dem Filmtitel alle Ehre: Fargeat montiert ihren feministischen Rape-and-Revenge-Schocker zum farbsatten Pulp-Epos um und transformiert die Hauptfigur in den coolsten Rache-Engel diesseits von Christina Lindberg. (Markus Keuschnigg)
With the unequivocally titled Revenge, newcomer Coralie Fargeat gains instant entrée into the halls of Gallic extreme horror in the vein of Haute Tension and Inside. Genuflecting to the giddy exploitation delirium of I Spit on Your Grave - right down to calling the protagonist Jen - this is a rape retaliation thriller both tautly controlled and wildly over-the-top, executed with ashy style, sly visual humor and a subversive feminist sensibility. This mostly English-language pop-art carnage opera will make genre fans squeal and squirm. (DavidRooney,TheHollywoodReporter)
