Alex de Renzy (FEMMES DE SADE, PRETTY PEACHES) was one of the greatest directors of adult films ever, his career starting in the late 60's and preceeding well into the 90's. So saying that BABY FACE, stands as his crowning achievement is no small praise. This ranks as one skinflick that truly has it all, a complete storyline, fine production, and a couple of decent acting performances and some of the hottest sex scenes ever assembled in a single movie.
Big, lumbering Dan Roberts stars as the hapless construction worker who has to go into hiding following his seduction of underage but willing Priscilla (Lyn Cuddles Malone) which incurs the wrath of her religious fanatic of a man. After a near-fatal accident leaves him unconsciously drifting in the bay, he is saved by fan favorites Amber Hunt (FIONA ON FIRE) and Linda Wong (SWEET CAKES) who clean him up and then some. Hunt comes up with the brilliant idea of taking him to the Training Camp, a brothel catering exclusively for rich women and run by her aunt, affectionately referred to as the Champ.
This fancy cathouse provides the perfect backdrop for the movie's myriad sexual situations, nearly all of them handled with great style and enthusiasm by cast and filmmaker alike, shot through with a wickedly subversive humor. Standout scenes include gentle giant Roberts tender initiation of the eager Malone, their contrast in size providing an instant thrill all by itself, and the late great Kristine Heller taking on pretty much all the guys present in what has to stand as the single greatest gang bang sequence ever committed to film or video.
O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife. Thou knowest that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives. And in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared. 'Tis much he dares. And, to that dauntless temper of his mind, he hath the wisdom to guide his valor to act in safety. There's none but he whose being I do fear.
棚里拍摄，摄影还是强的，转场丝滑。
对于向来不在看之前了解演职员表等背景的人来说，看到是乔尔科恩导演挺惊讶的，一个是他脱离科恩兄弟这一导演组合，再一个科恩兄弟的作品一向是无限接近现实，再加上自编的剧本，代表性的如《冰血暴》，而本片改编自莎士比亚的经典戏剧《麦克白》，很明显和科恩之前的风格大不相同，影片采用1.37:1接近正方形的比例和黑白色调，布景极简，作为电影舞台感更重，脸部特写居多，关注点集中在演员演技上。而台词也充满原著中的诗性，。
布景很绝，赋予光影以意义；演员不错，戏演于光影之间。然而，莎士比亚戏剧之于我却不甚欢喜。
(我怎么觉得莎士比亚写的这部剧也不过尔尔)
也不是第一次看麦克白的故事了，这版比较打动人的是前段对于莎翁原著的纪实化呈现，在文本上显得更为厚重。有点可惜的是，后半段节奏掉的很快，使得人物终究不立体，故事情节不够圆润，震撼力也就不太够。麦克白的悲剧是必然的，历史上的很多失败一直在不断重演，成王败寇亘古不变，守天下永远比打天下难。
《麦克黑的悲剧》讲了什么？话语权威的篡夺者注定被群体意志砍头，表面上选角试图在矫正种族歧视，实则恶意满满。

刚好和前阵子的罗南的话剧版本作对比，显然话剧版为罗南做了很多的改编，加了不少戏份，电影版在奇幻的改编上加了很多力度。打光真是一绝，线条也是极简，视觉上非常舒服。但是麦克多蒙德的戏份也太少了哇！真的，恶女还得是由老戏骨来演，才能有那种味道
极简的影像后面是乏味化，摄影很好，莎翁的对白听一次有一次新的感受。
好无趣呀科恩为什么要拍麦克白？在剧情无创造的情况下，比角色更出戏的真的是口音。布景、运镜和表演都在全力为舞台剧感让位，电影感极弱。对麦克白夫人的塑造非常失望，居然全靠发型衬托心境。
光影摄影，场面调度，灯光走位牛到爆炸！看片的时候一直在要是能在大银幕欣赏这片儿是不是视觉感官就爽爆了！我的丹泽尔华盛顿依旧演技爆棚，台词拽哦！这一届奥斯卡男主是不是没跑了!!!静待3月颁奖。Ps：默默拿出沙翁的《麦克白》复习一下
I have no words it’s so well made in every single aspect. I loved the witches, the birds, the leaves, the girl in the water, the monologue. Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington are THE actors of their generation. Will need a rewatch with subtitles in the future.

然后...是我格局不够…
開幕女巫全場最佳，舞台劇台詞排演但正式上場 + Joel Coen單飛成為主創後的彰顯自我化攝影+ A24班底堅持遵從佈景美學(跟everything everywhere all at once一樣是視聽雙重享受)喜歡舞台劇的人maybe不冗長，但不喜歡的人大概就又長又臭又平庸了
B/74｜刺杀国王、献祭预言、皇后发疯几场戏惊艳绝伦，音效和视觉效果结合相宜，强对比的打光和几何简约式的布景仿佛上世纪初德国表现主义的复兴。各位戏骨贡献了完美的表演，除了“达力”实在让我有点出戏。但是有一说一，这种布景带来的劣势和优势同样明显，空间受限带来的是画幅景别的重复使用，视觉造就的力量在半个小时后之后就消失殆尽，最想看的类似《蜘蛛巢城》里的移动森林则直接用纷飞的落叶一笔带过。A24尽整这些花活儿，多了也就不新鲜了。#LondonCurzonSoho#
竟然出奇的好看？！不愧为莎士比亚的著作改编 词藻太华丽了 麦克白听取预言后所做决定却与预言大相庭径 这也就埋下了悲剧的种子 随着麦克白的头颅落地 他的故事也随之落幕
这就是学院派吗？影像逼格满满的，摄影，场景极具风格化和美学效果，极简主义的几何建筑构型，黑白画面配合烟雾缭绕的气氛。台词很古风和剧场化，是莎翁原台词还是新写的？这部可能是典型的形式大于内容？因为我看完后最大感受不是故事带来的享受与震撼，而是对美术摄影等所具匠气的佩服，而改编自同一剧本的黑泽明的《蜘蛛巢城》在电影化和叙事上显然做得更好，更多的体现了贪婪欲望罪恶等在麦克白命运中造就的悲剧。
台词诗意，影片戏剧化，并不是拍莎翁的要领。
