Skinopsis

Let's just say this: if we had a girlfriend who looked as absolutely fucking incredible naked as Irina Potapenko, we wouldn't think twice about killing to avenge her death. She shows off her soon-to-be legendary Austrian chest globes playing a steamy hot hooker who accompanies her small time hood boyfriend on a small town bank robbery that doesn't go as planned which leads him to contemplate some very hot-blooded revenge, but not quite as hot-blooded as we felt as she strutted about their room wearing nothing but dental floss-sized string bikini bottoms.

-- Rick Stanko

Review

A nominee for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year, this stark but gripping thriller from Austrian writer/director Goetz Spielmann is a tale of desperate love, revenge, guilt, and the fate that unites two dissimilar couples. Ukrainian-born Tamara is a prostitute in Vienna working at a brothel where the sleazy owner has the hots for the sad-faced beauty. She thinks she finds a way out of her hellhole when she begins an affair with the owner’s assistant and ex-con Alex and together they escape to the countryside. Living on a farm there, Robert and Ursula are happily married but find themselves increasingly stressed when Ursula fails to get pregnant. Needing money, Alex robs a bank but the scheme is bungled, ending with the police in pursuit of their car. When a shot (from policemen Robert) is fired at the escaping car’s tires but misses, it propels the future of the two men inexorably together. This is a masterful, thoughtful psychological drama that asks the question, “Whose fault is it if life doesn’t go your way?” (German with English subtitles)
