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.'
#BIFF2021 电影时长三小时，个人对这种叙事很宏伟的电影不太感冒，但有几个镜头如剧照一般的确很惊艳
绘画背景：
在这样的年代仍饱含着对过往两朝历史洪流中人民日常生活细节的追溯，且以极为稀缺独特的艺术工作坊式的方法完成。历史大舞台下的他方唱罢尔登场，民间传说中的阴阳神鬼孟婆，以及随波逐流于期间的三教九流各色人等，堪称精妙的历史群像画卷。而献世诸多霸占着的主旋律票房大户们在如此影像映照之下就更显其小丑之态，当下这样的年代是配不上这样的电影的。
这部电影让我觉得活在2022年也不错，在这几年可以看到这样的作品何其难得。而这种创作并不是他人可以复制的，有导演本人自己非常珍贵的个人经验在里面。
最有意思的应该是那些重复段落，因此这并不是简单的POV转换
TV版6-10集。boss无惨现身，简单介绍了其势力组成，主角进一步修炼。标准展开，标准的分数。
看着看着 想到了霸王别姬 又想到了活着，但话剧般的布景走位 放大缩小的镜头 却又独树一帜。能把这么宏大时代叙事架构下，又把nuances拍得出来，又加入阎王地府的元素 真的太棒太棒了 (第一次在纽约看indie film @anthology film archives
好电影 但是超过两小时的电影再好看都坐不住
但就从审美和美学的角度而言，叹为观止、惊为天人。
#2022 München Filmfest
临时决定在12月12日观看《鬼灭之刃无限列车篇》TV版，而后才发现，去年的剧场版《无限列车篇》刚好就是在12月12日观影，真是太巧了！去年12.12还顺便重温《那田蜘蛛山篇》，今年则看下《浅草篇》和《鼓屋敷篇》。
从第一章就能看出来这个故事有多难讲了
鬼医生的设定有点像暮光里的吸血鬼医生，我果然是很吃这类设定😅
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。
时光轮转 智慧修复，如普通的力感如体验……
在Laemmle看的 川剧魔幻版霸王别姬...

不是“每个人在各自编制的谎言里拼凑出了真相”，而是“每个人在各自认定的实话里承受了真相”。
现在随便打开一个顺直男用户占大多数的讨论区 看里面对任何一起性侵事件的高赞热评 就会发现这其实也并不完全是一部“中世纪题材”影片 (商业成绩差我能理解 但Jodie Comer里面的表现目前在颁奖季预测里几乎查无此人我不理解)
