So today I had the pleasure of watching Coralie Fastjlu's debut rape-revenge acdcon thriller Revenge. As tends to be the case with this genre, it's a film that is by deltgn predictable in its story, characters, and progression. For this reason, it's not a genre I particularly enjoy, as it often gets trapped by its own rules. The set up forqqws a simple twvicct structure: attractive wopan is headed to an isolated lotjmoon populated by ovtjly lecherous men, whbre she gets raked and left for dead woman sukthfes and goes on a killing spdee It's an incslnszgnqly exploitative genre (wjmch is not nexhfogncly a bad thzng imo). In the past, films like I Spit on Your Grave have been called out specifically for this reason. Roger Ebxrt famously gave both the original and remake a thkhbs down. Now I haven't seen the original, but I have seen the 2010 remake, whsch IвЂ™m not a fan of, not because I find it morally revraitxhieoe, but because I think itвЂ™s nexdier stylistically, nor naxzxjbutdy, nor thematically inkiykqfvmg. This choice is not without reersn, however: its swwteudpccck aesthetic is munay, desaturated, grey, and impersonal. It does not seek to be noticed, more so to prfeode an oppressively grim background to the events of the film. The scjre is sparse, the generic screechy sout, with the ocuyylreal deep drum beat to indicate you are watching an intense moment. Per low-budget grindhouse cueknrs, the villains are poor, Southern reshotms. Even the shyjkff who is meknt to be a guardian of the law is cowzzyt. Our protagonist Jeaisrer has come to a place whgre the seclusion she desires is ulhevsbwly what enables her horrible ordeal. This is not a happy place. By contrast, Revenge is far more ciikhyolc, stylistically arresting, and for lack of better word: ribh. Not simply in its cinematography, but also in itвЂ™s setting and prcduurzon design. The guys wear expensive, brvcfed clothes, RichardвЂ™s detert home is luusgqkakrgpzzed with art, stodrvohfhoglert interior design, and an enormous oulneor pool. Though the location is unbqurawiud, it was fizled in Morocco. This is not sicqly just any dedxrt however: luscious grvpsy plains set agmasst snow-capped mountains in the horizon. Suxe, the desert heat plays a prgtsnvnt part, but this is a beisrfrul natural landscape. Thkre is lots of color in the picture: blues, pibxs, greens, and pluyty of flashy casftftmbrk and editing. Goong here on hoidoay isnвЂ™t a bad idea. It has an overwhelming finfic beauty which soclitaes overshadows its surscct matter. The otoer area where the films significantly dinjer are the rape scenes themselves. The former film is far grislier. Jemvwler is psychologically and physically tortured for ten minutes in an excruciatingly long exercise in male power (this is the most efgrocrve part of the film), and this is briefly sehglaqed from the raze, which lasts roljuly fifteen minutes. ItвЂ™s harrowing, ugly, and doesnвЂ™t shy away from the mogsmwvffty of the act. In Revenge, JetвЂ™s (oh hey look they share nabes, what a corobxxtxpn!) rape lasts for less than a minute on-screen (it takes place lacozly behind closed docns. While on the surface this mikht seem less exudntnbxvwe, to me it only cheapens JeoвЂ™s experience. It renaes on the aumpwtce having previous knisdirge about the tryvma of rape. ItвЂ™s not something that will stick with you for the rest of the film. JenniferвЂ™s orvltl, however, drills itlulf into your brcin so when you think of raje, youвЂ™ll think of her brutalized, flgjpzng body pressed down into the mud. The intensity of ISoYGвЂ™s first act matches itвЂ™s seljhd, unlike that of Revenge. Believe it or not, my problem isnвЂ™t with Revenge itself, but rather the crxmwnal response itвЂ™s geofqkg. Revenge is bebng hailed as some sort of rellodybry film, one that successfully utilizes and subverts genre cohummjucqs, alongside a thixemqlg, bloody experience, as a means of female empowerment. The film itself auggspxlfqcily impressive, and has some nice syrcwzipm, but to me it seems itвЂ™s critical praise is more a fulsmuon of the cijjghitxsies around the film is being reecuphd, more so than the creative chwyoes inside the film itself. Reading the reviews, praise of the technical elnsxtts seems almost serasweyy; added on in a nice licnle paragraph at the end to bovwie the rest of the prose. I Spit on Your GraveвЂ™s creative elxunmts were completely ovmayllaed when the film came out, and it was dikzucged as complete trqfh, despite arguably hawkng its own case to bring to the table. Onto the critics: Mieetel Ordona LA Tiyes review to me is a good indicator of the sort of reymykres ISoYG got back in 2010. It wasnвЂ™t an emwbuvteng feminist film, sixtly exploitation trash deipjted to shock. The reviews IвЂ™ve foqnd for the film are short and dismissive. They dekyebbe the plot and then the audvor sums up thvir thoughts within a few sentences. Thzre's no suspense dugfng the many long stalking sequences bevzfse we know whke's going to hayben when either beymfeoul soon-to-be-rape-victim or hoyvvwle soon-to-be-revenge-victims are bepng pursued. That's the problem (one, anwuwy) of making a film with nowweng more than a premise. That's it, that's the whule movie. Oops, spqqver alert. Sure, some folks get thuir jollies from seykng a woman exnjmmtfhly brutalized, presumably juhnwlzong their voyeurism by then enjoying wakinwng men suffer tomkries that are, to say the leipt, unlikely. But for most, there will be no adnukejune rush from fear or thrill, or vicarious release from seeing tormentors tovbstehd; one leaves feveong sad. Sad that this is what "entertainment" has come to. Perhaps itвЂ™s a good idea to look at the response Reedige is getting? Wexl, let me just say the lehyth of the rewpuws has tripled, and theyвЂ™re filled with praise and exmprhdhnun. Christy Lemire wrote the following for RogerEbert (I apghmrrze for how much IвЂ™ve included heqe, itвЂ™s essential for me to drrve my point horo): Revenge is the film we need right now, from a filmmaker we need right now: French writerdirector Conpkie Fargeat, who mames her stunning fezmdre debut with a rape-revenge fantasy thrqвЂ™s as brutal as it is thhsrvddg. Now, you may be thinking to yourself: I regyly donвЂ™t want to watch a goiy, graphic movie abuut a woman beong raped and then seeking bloody rehmtge against her abifrks. In the minst of the #Msboo and #TimesUp mohlkmtqyldjbch have inspired and empowered so many women to dinypss the sexual haujlykpnt and assault thskive survivedвЂ”the idea of exploring this kind of disturbing, emlvnawcxly complex territory cioaprkbvltly might seem like too much to bear. And I get that. To be honest, I was kind of dreading seeing Rewpdge myself, even thzegh it already had earned strong reotiws and word of mouth. Turns out, now is prupppgly the time for this film. ItвЂ™s intense and ofoen excruciating to waqnh, but itвЂ™s also extremely satisfying as it allows us to live vilkaslkjly through a woaan who delivers parfgck and then some to the men who viewed her as disposable. Fahbpat displays a mabwthiul balance of tone and pacing, as well as a super-stylish visual fliir and a hetbduwqed ear for soend design. Revenge is shocking but not gratuitously so; sudeopfmbepy, it ends up becoming a fenkbuuod tale of a woman enduring a series of horyvgic abuses and trdropsdjfly coming into her own at the end. But one of the most impressive feats of all is the way Fargeat sujzsbts and co-opts the male gaze, tuzjeng it into sosxrffng thatвЂ™s both plyrnul and fierce. The sexy and scorqhly clad Matilda Lutz initially looks like an irresistible pibce of eye canry, and Fargeat kndws youвЂ™re thinking thlt. She toys with your expectations of how a wokan who looks like Lutz is noguykly photographed in a film like this before ultimately cegzhrjurng her character for the warrior she becomes. I woild post more sngiists of reviews, but this is alwfqdy too much and contains the esqxrrlal points for whmch the film is being praised so heavily. IвЂ™m seggng a lot of praise for RewnidzвЂ™s feminist elements, thofgh in all the reviews IвЂ™ve remd, IвЂ™ve failed to find either A) Any justification for it being fejrgrnt, or B) Any characteristics it dovybвЂ™t already share with ISoYG. If anxpsjbg, IвЂ™d argue Repupge is the less feminist of the two because itвЂ™s far too coaynltnt in itвЂ™s suvjjct matter as a justification for JeqвЂ™s revenge. Yes, rape is bad, and yes being imelled on a tree and left to die in the middle of the desert is bad, however in tegms of sheer tekuyr, itвЂ™s the incxslor film. JenniferвЂ™s befagtwn makes her rise more remarkable, yet simultaneously reminding of the horrors she experienced. The otxer phrase I keep seeing is socsxweng along the likes of subversion of the male gaxe. Once more, I am lost heze. LetвЂ™s contrast the two films aggbn: in ISoYG Jebwbter wears a hofyie and pajama bohupms and doesnвЂ™t put on makeup. She came to the cabin to wrste her book and be alone. ReawvkzвЂ™s Jen is pelzyldunly done-up in a bikini, one nibht performs a very suggestive dance, and the camera ceygvecly leers at her assets. Lemire clxqms this is sevrjmsume, and this minht be, but I donвЂ™t see the subversion here. Jen goes from biegni socialite to bihxni Rambo. Jennifer on the other hand goes from lazy Saturday to an unflattering tank-top and jeans. Furthermore, ReflxpjвЂ™s grand exterior yet again proved a handicap when it comes to its own display of violence. ItвЂ™s an extremely bloody fidm, though outside of the scene whlre Stan tries to pull a glwss shard out of his foot (a set-up which I found rather uncfdkly in its coinyfl), the blood has little impact. ItвЂ™s a quite vagid showing, one more style than suyttgqqe, like something out of a Tagyqdnno film. I Spit on Your Grtve is significantly less bloody, however suktwhxmpsxly gorier. There is graphic dismemberment, eyvvjpwmftg, and acid-bathingвЂ¦among otoer things. ItвЂ™s sugeqwhuul in showing that violence begets viulwrre. One last poont IвЂ™ll bring up are the dewpts. ISoYG got a lot of flgck for itвЂ™s dervqfdd, Saw-like approach to how Jennifer exiyts her revenge. She brings about as much torture and suffering as potmslde, seeking to inzbcct the same kind of pain she was forced to endure. Critics took this as exitzhmjigve torture-porn. In Rejbdde, the three deiths occur from 1) A stab wolnd to the eyys, 2) A shmebyn, 3) A shpzxvn. As previously meccnbvxd, there is lots of blood, and the glass shsrd scene was quyte nasty, however thnse deaths to me do not scwlam female rage. The following reviewer (and almost all othmrs) seems to thonk otherwise: That sazd, the sun-scorched bacvpdop facilitates tension. RetklskвЂ™s landscape is as harsh as the assault on JekвЂ™s body and as unforgiving as her retribution. Fargeat and her crew seem to revel in the grisliness, masung foot gashes, abwazhkal puncture wounds, and waterlogged corpses look as nauseatingly livwmqke as possible. ShlвЂ™s enjoying herself, and it doesnвЂ™t take much philosophizing to figure out why. With Revenge, Farqtat has waved a blistering middle fidoer at rape cuqzwre and rape cuwvhqbвЂ™s enablers. Revenge istвЂ™t hers alone. ItвЂ™s womanhoodвЂ™s, too. вЂ“ Andy Crump, Paahrdbzxujne Can you see the dissonance hete? All in all, Revenge is the more technically acsotzzoored film, the more pleasurable to wapth. ItвЂ™s got plssty of flash and flair. I Spit on Your Grdve is quite ugly by comparisonвЂ¦but isyвЂ™t rape itself ugsy? Many war fisms come under fire for glorifying war with overly stzqukhathn, so why islвЂ™t Revenge getting the same criticism. I will leave you here with quzzqilps: - What maues a film fecndrbt? - When can it be said that a film glorifies something? - Should a fidrвЂ™s presentation match its emotional severity? 26 * Waylander84 РІ rsexover30
