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.
pleasure is a wonderful thing.好温柔的电影
很精巧简洁的室内剧，全部靠对话和两个人的互动撑起来。我很喜欢前两夜的对话，经常让我捧腹。Emma Thompson的表演是大师级的，年轻的男妓十分可爱，非常松弛。而且，非常帅！
如果我也能点leo，才不会去关心他真名是什么 real life过得怎么样，只会一门心思赚钱确保自己能经常点他
“你的身体很美，真希望你能‘看到’。”
You do like some kind of sex saint, and being a teacher suddenly pays her back, enables her to explain the accident so reasonably and convincingly 和学生的对话可以看出冷漠老师不是个会察言观色、考虑他人感受的高情商的人，虽然循规蹈矩却不是真的在乎，直到她感受到人和人之间的温度 thx to the SEX SAINT! Oh, when he felt wrongly treated by his mother老娘母性关怀雌性荷尔蒙爆棚！这是对俄狄浦斯情结最当代的展示了吧！！concupiscence
她说“身体只是我们的一个容器”，她让我们看到，即使容器中盛满了一生也可以如此轻盈自由
靠本事赚钱没什么不好的。
发生在房间里的大龄老女人与年轻鸭子的浪漫故事
剧本的任何一个铺陈都在为了让这个故事变得合理化，女主的职业和面对性的不自信，胆怯，都很真实，男主的颜值，身材，让两人的互动变得那么有化学反应。从不敢到彻底解放，性的解放，也是女性对束缚的解放。评分：7.5/10。

有种尺度更大一点牛郎版爱在系列电影的感觉，单纯的就两个角色，在很小的空间里发生一个简单的故事。如果电影故事没有用三次约会，而是用一次约会就深化所有的主题，这样会更厉害。当然让一个55岁的宗教学老师去一步一步面对自己的欲望，哪怕对方是小鲜肉也不会那么快就卸下所有的防备吧，但是还是觉得用三幕稍微有点普通。爱玛·汤普森也老了，但是片中她依旧魅力十足，最后一场戏对着自己的身体欣赏的戏份升华了主题，不要焦虑，不要焦虑，不要焦虑，要接受自己，哪怕是已经下垂的自己。而更应该在任何年纪都要正视自己的欲望，包括但不限于性的欲望、被爱的欲望，正是这些“杂念”重新定义了每一个人。
男菩萨渡女苦主到达极乐彼岸的故事。这种唠闲嗑式电影会放大演技的瑕疵，如果表演不到位人物就立不住，故事里的张力和关系也都会不成立。但Emma Thompson 演得太好了！如果不是她，这个角色不会这么令人信服和共情。轻盈有趣，四星推荐。
太好了
8分。这种主要就两个演员，几乎全程都在碎碎念唠叨的电影本来不是我的菜，但架不住本片真的是太有意思了啊。老年妇女的求爱之旅。论做鸭，这一位是专业的！！！里奥算是满足了女人们的各种幻想了吧，但反过来也能看出太过完美而显得不真实。Emma Thompson的表演非常精彩，我觉得是可以放入今年最佳讨论的级别~~那种又想又怕，不断放开心灵的过程真的是绝了~~~~五星推荐啊，哈哈~~
这个故事性转之后就会让人感到异常荒谬，明明是女性付费，却要经历一连串的容貌焦虑、身材焦虑、年龄焦虑、道德焦虑才能抵达所谓“享乐”——在这部片子里仅仅体现为性，因而呈现出贯穿全片的女性罪恶感和说教感——最后汇聚为女主对她女学生的口号式说教。鉴于女主是buff叠满的保守人群，能体会电影传达理念的不易，但是看的时候只要一想到性转的荒谬——男的享乐前能想这么多吗？就对现实更为愤怒了。
充分交流前提下的性治疗，一种觉醒及寻求自我的方式，认真又不乏幽默，性感又不失体面。
少女凝视、抚摸自己身躯是极常见的意象，自我迷恋怜惜的目光来自何处呢？
今年目前看过最有趣最治愈的故事了。和想象的差不多，最后几分钟又超乎想象。艾玛姨演的真好啊！以及，真的有如此敬业的x工作者吗
简单精悍，一个电影就一个场景，俩人（后面增加了一个场景和另外一个角色感觉略显鸡肋）力求只把一个事讲清楚，是我喜欢的
