Vengeance is mine - Revanche review by CP Customer
The beautiful Austrian scenery contrasts sharply with the hard existence endured by a petty thief as he waits for an opportunity to exact his vengeance.
The finally is not quite what you may be expecting but still makes its point well.

Revenge surrounded by beauty - Revanche review by Wkarmo
Wiry, little man and his girlfriend (a prostitute) escape from Vienna to the country, rob a bank and, in so doing, his girl gets shot by a policeman, who turns out to be his neighbour. Little man seeks revenge for the shooting and gets it (sort of).
