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.
但就从审美和美学的角度而言，叹为观止、惊为天人。
“看的我都厌男症了”，“逃离男人吧”，
记录：anthropology archive. 举重若轻，人如鸿毛在时代的洪流中。太喜欢了，两年内看过的最佳。
成都人，四川人，嘿地道，嘿有文化，嘿美丽，嘿醇厚，就像喝白酒，呛的你眼泪流下来，脑袋爆炸出高兴来，兴奋的二麻二麻的
精致的手工布景多了几分间离感。魔幻现实主义的《活着》或者黑色幽默的《霸王别姬》。与众不同的体验，华语电影的又一突破与创新之作。#Anthology Film Archive#
三个篇章 三种视角 一场恶战 女主最后的眼神已然在告诉观众 决斗的荣耀是新一轮痛苦的开始
几乎没眨眼看完了，幻觉是导演把我脑子看到的世界和我对中国近代史的理解整个疯出来了，如遇知音向导。邱把一切精心安置在舞台上用力表演，我们被捆绑在观众席上不得进入后台。那些疯癫、麻木、虚伪、愚昧的妆容背后，是一个个幻觉一般的人生，夜夜做吃人的噩梦。肉体记忆被唤醒却被麻绳扼喉，直至泪也不再留下来。
小邱福戏谑似地唱出我们小时候唱的绕口令—“我不吃鹅蛋我不变鹅，鹅鸡鹅鸭鹅脑壳”，内心深深地被感动。如果那只站在轰炸之后废墟中茫然失措的鹅是我们，童谣好似成真，也只有化身成鹅的我们才能又进入那段风云变幻的历史。个人不是历史的人质，画地也可以不为牢，那是筑起防线，坚守底线。掏粪也好，乞讨也罢，任何恶劣的环境下都有选择，只不过看我们会不会选。邱福选了他的道路并走到了底，喝了孟婆汤这一生无惧也无悔。（太阳出来喜洋洋那段也太好听了
叹人生，最难欢聚易离别。颠沛流离起起落落的一辈子，小人物也有自己的金榜题名，洞房花烛，他乡遇故知。
绝对五星，名副其实的华语年度最佳！荒诞的艺术，光怪陆离的社会变迁，《霸王别姬》的隔空对唱，模糊舞台和荧幕的扑面而来的丁达尔效应，极具个人色彩和地方特色的空灵的戏梦版的表达，文革时期向右野蛮生长的水泥砖墙，屎里找蛆的桥段。细节和记忆点很多，非常大胆，导演也极具野心。在釜山电影节看的，179分钟，中途走了几个韩国人，亮灯后也有几个韩国人昏睡在座位上，只有我和个位数的同胞在诺大的影厅里鼓掌到人潮散去
1弥久摩登 2每一帧都在复活我体内的中国人基因 3人的史诗 4非常敬佩
是佛龛，是教堂彩绘玻璃，是长卷。是过去的电影，是现在的电影，是未来的电影。
手绘背景与手工道具，以川剧团演员为故事线，串联起从二、三十年代到文革后期的长篇历史画卷。极其写意的抗战，在牛头马面拉人过程中描述国共斗争，延续从《痴》延续的美学风格。鸡脚神，驼儿，太子菩萨，牛头马面等意向化的人物，增加了很多趣味性和解读性。 看字幕的时候，演员和工作人员是同一批人，不由得让我泪目，感谢自己和朋友们曾经参与了制作，大家都太不容易了！
因为我怕有一天再也看不到这样的电影
泼辣，厚实，乡土，生猛。以川剧兴衰的视角折射中国近代史，戏剧式的布局与布景更添一层讽谑面纱，三小时笑看历史与记忆荒腔走板。

虽说设定上只有日轮刀砍脖子才能杀鬼，但鬼既然干掉过很多鬼杀队员了，就没有收集一堆日轮刀为己所用吗？
从《末路狂花》到《最后的决斗》，30年来Ridley Scott镜头下带给女性的理解和尊重无可比拟。这部电影票房惨败，是这个时代的耻辱。
Festival des 3 continents 2021-今年華語片最佳沒什麼懸念了吧
還是對這種美式英語歐洲故事抗拒，兩位男角選角存疑，Matt Damon現代感太重走型格路線的Adam Driver不斷被贊美handsome令人搖頭，幸然Jodie Comer演出精彩。薑還是老的辣，Ridley Scott的動作戲驚心動魄。strong female看來已成另一隻荷里活搾錢乳牛。
