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.
固定摄影导致空间感的缺失让人感觉是在用电影拍话剧
舞台化布光、垂直调度、俯拍和仰拍，地狱般的荒原弥漫着死亡气息，毫无生气的高大建筑和空旷通道让人迷失，视听雕琢到这种程度看着太过瘾了。以弗里恩斯作结提供了彩蛋般的乐趣。
《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。
就当看个实景拍摄的名著电影吧。黑白色调拍出了惊悚，也奠定了悲剧气氛。预言式定场的套路看来中外皆同，不过麦克白更多的像是角色明知道结局却被魔鬼牵引着走的无奈，而中国则是不知道结局，莫名其妙走向结局的无奈。还是有所区别。(ps：个人可能还是无法接受所有的心理状态都通过语句展现，如果部分的心理状态能通过语句说出来觉得更靠谱点，而且觉得如果情感不剧烈却说心理状态也挺影响演员的面部表情和表演的。所以感觉莎翁剧看剧本还好，一还原到舞台或电影就不大看的进去了。最后那个麦克白不怕女人生的咒语被打破的原因比较喜感）
就当是看舞台剧吧，这样密集复古的台词如果当成电影看还是会觉得很奇怪很难入戏的
醉乡民谣的合作摄影
纽约电影节开幕片，见到了Joel Coen, Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand。坦白说台词几乎一句都没听懂，莎士比亚般的对白实在考验听力，而且这场好晚好晚，开头有点昏昏欲睡。喜欢打光和摄影，结尾的设计。这部真的没有太多“科恩”的感觉。
表现主义的重现契合麦克白暴君性的一面，可电影的优点也仅限于此。
挺好的改编，忠实原著，舞台化的处理，朴实。配乐也很正统。
绝佳的美术和氛围营造使本片充满了电影感，但故事和人物刻画都不足，演员表演上乘。
科恩的莎翁梦，每一幕都比冰血暴还冷，几百上千年，科技一直在发展，人类的欲望却始终原地踏步，我们都是麦克白，没有魔法保护的麦克白。
极简的布景反而更衬演技 大量的独白不抓马也不违和 算是优质的改编了
把戏剧搬入电影
3.5.文本和形式所追求的极简还是有些冲突，但是光影效果和背景的表现主义感受还是强烈的，虽然可以说确实当下追求的复古不甚必要，但偶尔观看起来还是有值得享受的地方。
极简服化道，剩下的就全是细节和特写，相当托华盛顿和科恩嫂的表演。他们完成地非常出色。连女巫都演得出彩。相较之下，演麦克迪夫的黑人演员很逊。
纯粹在我审美范围内的作品，绝美cinematography
冲动五星系列。A24 yyds以及A24公关yyd垃圾我说累了。解锁了”the Scottish play”🤫 art design美得不像是这个世纪的电影，非要扣的话要说黑白片光太亮略失层次感。Harry Melling继续为HP毕业班加分，希望小哥哥一直接好戏！gleeson爹的Duncan我竟没认出来。get了sleep no more和double trouble的出处。另一个personal的扣分点，是确实不太能接受美音念出Shakespeare’s English.
纽约电影节看的首映。完全舞台化的打光和表演，转场很惊艳。
这古英文真是有点过于晦涩了。但画面每一帧都可以放到art gallery里。
7.9 每次dw的电影都会觉得他很厉害，但又喜欢不起来，production design 真的很棒。
