Getting Even

About This Movie

Getting Even, a lesser-known gem from the mid-80s, weaves a moody tapestry of jealousy and desire against the backdrop of Paris. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of longing, as our protagonist, driven by his emotions, navigates the wet streets, only to be captivated by a striking blonde on a motorcycle. There's an interesting pace to it, with moments of tension that contrast sharply with the sultry ambiance of the city. The performances carry a rawness, particularly in how they handle the themes of obsession and revenge. Practical effects aren’t the highlight here, but the film's distinctive character lies in its exploration of desire through an almost dreamlike lens, making it an intriguing piece for collectors who appreciate the nuances of 80s cinema.

Getting Even hasn't seen a plethora of releases over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. It initially appeared on VHS and later on DVD, but there’s a noticeable scarcity for high-quality versions. Interest in this film tends to be niche, drawn more by the unique themes and the atmospheric portrayal of Paris than by mainstream recognition, which can make finding well-kept copies a rewarding hunt.
