This was my first attempt to watch a film on Hulu Plus since signing up a few days ago. I wanted to watch this film, Revanche. Uh, I see an interview with the director. OK. Where's the film?I'm already thinking that I'm going to cancel my subscription and go back to Netflix and the multimedia library at Northwestern University.

Revanche is one of the best films I've seen in ages, with so many parallel narratives presented in subtle ways keeping you glued throughout. At the surface level it watches like an thriller that's slowed down to the pace that a more patient film viewer can appreciate. With each narrative a duality is presented as the film progresses, the prostitute and the housewife, the robber and the cop, the old man and the young man, the two paths diverging in the woods. Having just watched, I'm not positive there was an overarching theme, but the chemistry between the housewife and the robber toward the end was magnetic, both seeming very interested in each other's foreign worlds. One of the most spectacular parts for me was when the camera stops at the scene of the woods and later by the bank where later scenes would unfold. The reason I liked this so much is that it gave a sense of space to the movie, instead of scene 1 over here and scene 2 over there, I felt like I understood that this was a village with spaces in between. I'm sold on Hulu plus for at least another month.

I do not have a Plus acct - so I watched the preview offered for 1:29. ............ really? Please Hulu? How about the next 1:29, maybe ANYTHING will happen. The reviews look good though.

While this movie is competently done, and the acting is good, it is way too long. The story isn't that bad but I wonder if there was any footage that they didn't use. If I was editing this thing I would have cut a good 40 or so minutes, you could probably cut every scene in this thing by a minute or more. Having said that, it is a watchable movie, but I like my revenge a little revengier than this. Watch it if you want, but it's nothing to write home about.

It was emotional on many levels. A raw look at the various happenings of people and the paths take and the paths that life takes them on. A hard look at the human condition. If you sign up for Hulu plus you can watch more than the 90 second teaser. For the price of sandwich It is worth it.
