The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
前面大半段在情节设置以及暗喻的精巧感方面处理得很不错，浅显但依然颇有力道。那些压抑的冰冷的对称感，几乎是独角戏的处理，其他人都化作监控镜头一般冷硬的背景板，却都是窒息要素的一份子。
画面用躁点和柔光的效果模仿年代质感，室内自然光场景让我想到了库布里克的《巴里·林登》，也很耐看。
自己看了一下看不进去，找了小破站的40分钟解析看完了
拍的过于矫情和神经，真的没必要……ps满屏香奈儿是怎么回事……另外小K如果只是拍cos照片是挺像，动起来就是另外一件事了
Kristen in BrE也太像Keira了啊谁懂？？虽然做作但我好爱🚬
又一个安妮柏林?哈哈哈,别忘了安妮柏林抢走了别人的婚姻~。
排场肃穆华贵，服化道都无可挑剔，女主扮相美艳动人，梨花带雨楚楚可怜。就以电影表达来理解戴安娜王妃的失态是不够的，甚至会觉得查尔斯王子说得没错：你就像一个没被宠够的孩子，我们必须有二种面孔，对公众的一面要尽力负责。也许是戴妃的生平太被英国人熟悉了，影片就不在观众的同情面上进行铺垫了。但对海外观众来说，会觉得王妃的抑郁不可理喻。
整部片子80%的时间都让人感觉到很刻意地在营造压抑，但几处的配乐还是不错的
小k相对她自己是巨大的进步，然而整一个还是在拍chanel宣传片的感觉；倒是全片推进和闪灵片段意外的不错，可惜k女士没有演出来
天呐戴安娜王妃 居然是小k，这转型好美快认不出来
The rebirth of Luchino Visconti
#LFF 小K实在太美太美了，这个美已经盖过她的演技和电影本身，让人什么都看不到。电影基本是她的独角戏，真的很考验演技。
不是想象中的传记片，氛围营造得不错，K的演技明显被高估。
克里斯汀斯图尔特的表演全称刻意到让我出戏（被莎莉霍金斯告白那段稍微好点）……我能理解想表达的，这件屋子里的人和厨师仓库里等待被捞出来清洗烹饪甚至煮烂的有机胡萝卜没什么区别，但表演风格的做作和为了痛苦而痛苦的表达，过于何不食肉糜了一点。
艺术性炸裂，在《王冠》两季间走钢索，吃珍珠、黑白斯诺克、射鸡野马和线索稻草人，《黑天鹅》般忧美精悚，《鸟人》爵士怎能融进钢琴练习曲。而艺毕，模式化戴安娜还是那套，可怜之人，下半生荣华富贵便宜点？要钱没有要命一条
展现情绪可以不必那么白描，雉鸡的自喻、对王妃传记的抵制、拒绝出席晚宴以及无尽的含泪侧颜，但抽离掉白描之后似乎Diana这个人就已经空了，建议学习《蓝白红三部曲之蓝》来看看如何拍摄忧郁与压抑。当然，唯一一处超常发挥就是撕扯珍珠项链时伴着音乐的记忆蒙太奇；另外，全片音乐都非常好听。
被画框，建筑和线条禁锢住的王妃，被节奏性声响和配乐冲击的戴安娜，她每一次喘息和痛感的官能体验，都是以「斯宾塞」之名完成的自由出走。在身体感知如何回应空间桎梏的意义上与《闪灵》异曲同工，小K比想象的要好很多。最后说一下，并不太认同和Anne Boleyn的互文。
挺好看，这部传记片的风格是心理电影路线，大胆的加入了很多幻想，比如吞食珍珠、与16世纪的安妮·博林王后神魂相遇，尤其是濒临崩溃边缘那段MV式蒙太奇，拍出了枷锁桎梏的压抑，也拍出了希望。
演成了“疯女人”即视感，尽管比尼克尔基德曼演格蕾丝凯莉和娜塔丽波特曼演杰奎琳肯尼迪的灾难性效果要好很多，但仍摆脱不了刻意和做作。
一个没有做好铺垫和情节处理的电影，会让主角像个神经病。
