Jerichow (2008)

Germany. A recently discharged soldier gets a job working for a Turkish-born snack-bar chain owner, and gets involved with his wife.

Cold and unengaging drama, a variation, as many have noted, on The Postman Always Rings Twice. As fewer have noted (e.g. IMDB user hosasch), it is also (and perhaps more closely) a derivation from The Merchant of Four Seasons (1971).
