Arkham, 1975: Jonathan Davis' father has disappeared. His tracks lead to Germany, to the Swabian-Franconian Forest where he was stationed after the Second World War. Jonathan sets out to find him and bring him home, but deep in the woods he discovers a dark mystery from the past. Based on H.P. Lovecraft's short novel "The Colour Out of Space".
brutashell review - 'Filmed in black and white and primarily spoken in German, it is obvious that Die Farbe did not have a huge budget to work with. Effects are minimal and the cast is utterly unknown. I should point out that these are all good things, and work very much in the film's favour. There is no CGI to rely on, no name actors to carry it. Rather, the filmmakers do the unthinkable: they create a genuine atmosphere of unimaginable dread and unspeakable horror, using shadow, suggestion and rare splashes of that Nameless colour in a few select frames. In short, they did a damn good job. Die Farbe is subtle in its mounting horror, nurturing a dark dread deep in your bowels with every shot. All of the best and most stomach-turningly distressing films I’ve ever seen have come out of Germany: M, The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari, The White Ribbon, and now this one. Leave it to the Germans. We know how to gross you out on the deepest psychological levels.
Lovecraft worshippers and devotees of German Expressionism alike, take heed: seek out and view this film at your earliest possible convenience. It’s a dark, noisome little gem that will squirm into your subconscious and lay its eggs in your sanity. Hey, not everyone gets the honour of being a host organism for the Elder Gods, you know.'
只拍了一个月就杀青了， 这个水平可以理解。
从《light sleeper》到《美国舞男》到《第一归正》，都是延续布列松《扒手》的范式，在视觉上的静态照片，固定机位➕各种中景和人物特写，是小津安二郎的延续（毕竟保罗是布列松和小津的门徒），这几个series故事原型来自于《罪与罚》。公式如下：被罪疚感折磨的男主人公，忧郁、孤独、自我放逐，写日记又颇有“地下人”的痕迹，带着宗教哲学的刨析，遇到弱者的同情和善念，女主人带着“索尼娅”的标记，缓冲悲剧和幸福的摇摆，最后忏悔走向救赎。前几部还不错，《light sleeper 》视觉上黑色电影手法，后面都是超验风格的路子。剧本和音乐突出的是《第一归正》，可惜投资不多影响视觉。这一部故事理得顺，但女主人公只是沦为符号，保罗通常很会选男演员，女演员的品味不太好。
虽然我挺困的，是真困了，但是电影还是好看的，强撑着睡意看完了。
很有腔调的一部电影，就即便单独把算牌人的戏份拍出来，没有救赎的戏份都是很酷的，加上以后以及结尾，真的就很累赘了。影片节奏还是偏慢了一点。
加害者与受害者一体的创伤后遗症呈现，可是真的好枯燥好无聊。
What did I just watch😳泰和Oscar🤯Ending好听
除了回忆中扭曲的监狱还令人耳目一新外，其他部分实在是不行……开头的气势让我以为他有什么惊天大计划，没想到最后变成失足少年拯救片。
太难看了…配乐一响起来就困到不行…
比我预想的“水进戛纳主竞赛的大俗片”要好很多，甚至有一度想给四星，两个漂浮在水面上不了岸的人相拥沉湖，他们还是没有放过自己，轻轻点出关塔那摩虐囚事件，赢牌的每声“USA!”都讽刺的有些刺耳
ᐈ因为他的下巴比中国电话簿里的名字还要多
救赎题材，拍得很克制，一切点到为止，略闷。
两块磁铁没有吸到一起啊 因果殊途不能同归 奥斯卡还能接这样的片子？ 老马丁制片人也不行啊
stay away from FOCUS company, which is famous of producing profound, meaningful, well acted but ... extremely BORING films!
形式上的性冷淡感拉的满满的，如同故事的底色般苍白。
要么老老实实拍玩牌，要么老老实实拍复仇，这又是复仇又是玩牌。。。
选了打德州扑克的作为切入点着实让人迷茫。关塔那摩ptsd，主线隐藏蛮深，最后复仇的结局让人懵逼。不过看完好一会儿，才感到，后劲很大。
本质上我觉得是过去创伤与自我救赎外加提了一下美军逼供，披了个打牌的皮。主人公很挣扎拧巴，看的我也很挣扎，在还可以-一般-其实还可以-真的一般之间来回挣扎。
牌局与社会进程共行，人可以离去，赌注但不能停。孤寂的新地形摄影延伸至电影，从影调到白色幕布，它们概括的不止是现代社会本身，还包括经济下一系列的衍生物。话说没风格就是最大的风格，而21世纪的人类恰巧就属于前者，但当视角转移到酷刑方面，人类却充满了“创意”，那我怎么能用“动物性”来描述幕布后的血腥呢？
这个题材这个故事，如果是昆汀或者McKay来拍，可以想象能拍到多high，但Shrader就是全程格外控制，节奏纹丝不乱，与男主克制内敛、甚至阴郁的性格相吻合。鱼眼镜头中扭曲的回忆，广角放大的特写细节，构建出带有超现实主义的惊悚风格。Oscar的表演波澜不惊，却惊雷于无声，张力十足还不乏魅力，不知道是今年会是遗珠还是赢来首个奥斯卡提名。
7.2冷静克制的描述虐囚丑闻，威廉的戏太少，演技无从发挥
