Vertigo Releasing has revealed a UK trailer and poster for Coralie Fargeat’s upcoming feature Revenge. The film, written and directed by Fargeat, releases in cinemas on May 11th.
Jen (Matilda Lutz) arrives at a remote desert villa with her millionaire playboy boyfriend (Kevin Jannsens) for a weekend of romantic frivolity. Things quickly go south when her lover’s hunting pals show up and make inappropriate advances that escalate into an outright assault. The men quickly try to sweep their attack under the rug. Jen, however, proves harder to get rid of than anticipated, she’s after a dish best served extra cold. With a wry sense of humour and striking visuals, it careens towards a climax of retribution.
Reframing the revenge thriller in a strikingly hypnotic style, writer-director Coralie Fargeat’s feature debut flips the genre on its head, applying a female gaze to the action.
