“I like the moment where it becomes absurd, where it comes out of pain and out of reality and it becomes the madness in the mind of the characters,” says the director. At one point, Richard even Saran Wraps his torso to keep his guts from pouring out of a massive gunshot wound. Surprising the Audience on a Small Budgetįargeat does a phenomenal job of entrancing the viewer with a scene that is, on its face, absurd: two people chasing each other around in a circle, barely wearing clothes, and carrying huge guns. To unpack how her movie’s epic conclusion came together, Vulture sat down with Fargeat to discuss the inversion of horror tropes, the role of nudity in showcasing power dynamics, the benefits of working on a tight budget, and why her on-set mantra was “More blood! More blood!”

The scene stuffs all the tension built up in Revenge into a single canister, then detonates it like a bomb. One last tussle ends with her blasting a hole through his chest. It starts with a long tracking shot of a naked, wet Janssens stalking through his house in search of Lutz, and quickly turns from a gunfight into a panicky circular chase, with Jen and Richard simultaneously pursuing and running from one another. But the true crowning achievement of Fargeat’s savage phantasmagoria is the movie’s final scene, in which Jen and Richard finally encounter one another again for a frantic, ultrabloody showdown.

Revenge is hot and sticky and violent, with blaring colors and a primal soundscape provided by the composer Robin Coudert (also known as his stage name Rob), who’s also set the mood for movies like Horns and Maniac. But what the attempted murder actually catalyzes is a resurrection, with Jen trawling the desert for her captors - and all four people hunting each other. Taking advantage of his absence one afternoon, one of his friends rapes Matilda while the other ignores her screams and watches TV in the nearby living room.Īfter the crime, Richard returns, and decides the only course of action is to dispose of the inconvenience and leave Jen to be consumed by the arid landscape. What begins as a sexy, sweaty weekend in the middle of nowhere turns into a living hell when Richard’s hunting buddies arrive at his villa. The thriller stars Matilda Lutz as Jen, a woman on a desert getaway with her rich, married boyfriend, Richard (Kevin Janssens). The movie Revenge is a bare-knuckle punch to the face with a very big fist.
