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).

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.
