Götz Spielmann’s “Revanche”
Absorbing and naturalistic story built around a bank robbery at its centre which quietly discusses ethics, freedom, guilt, revenge and redemption to great effect in this daylight noir

Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala’s “Goodnight Mommy”
Effective though disturbing horror fairytale with echoes of Takashi Miike, Michael Haneke and Yorgos Lanthimos simmers slowly until boiling over in its final horrific act

Marie Kreutzer’s “Corsage”
The reimagined life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria is an oddly detached affair with a great lead in Vicky Krieps let down by some poor production choices and a bland soundtrack
