Demimonde M Startlingly good film with amazing cinematography and a compelling soundtrack. I watched it twice. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/22 Full Review Audience Member Una historia fuerte y bastante deprimente. Es interesante todo lo que va pasando pero a medida que caes en la cuenta te asusta. Muy recomendable Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty unknown film that I randomly stumbled over. The plot seemed cool - a rape victim and her child takes a trip around Romania to get their revenge. The story is solved quite easily and it seem like no problem to hunt down people even with a horse carriage as choise of vehicle. The acting felt a bit weak, but it's hard to tell since the language is very unheard by me. The sound mix is a very nice feature here, and sometimes the lightning is super as well. A poor film that could have been mistaken from an average 70's film if it wasn't for the great sound editing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This ain't like your average revenge movie, don't expect the victim of the tale to toughen up and roam the land kicking ass. It's a slow burner where vengeance is sought after but never really satisfied and the ending is very grim. It's a well acted, absorbing and looks great but there is something about it that doesn't really satisfy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a deliberately paced (slow?!) story about the ambiguities of revenge, morality and redemption. We learn in the first scenes that Katalin Varga's husband has just learned that their son is actually the product of a rape, and he casts her out with "your bastard son". The rest of the story only slowly unravels, as she takes her son on a pilgrimage(?) to something better... The cinematography is beautiful and compels the viewer's attention. Details are important and the dialogue sparse. The central performance is striking, and our sympathies shift subtly throughout the story. It often leaves us to make our own minds up about this, rather than forcing an agenda upon us. The final sequences are gripping and tense. Definitely not for everyone, but if you're at least vaguely into arthouse movies, this should be on your list.
