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.'

这故事又有好多背景功课，不做的话观感会锐减，这又算是某种小圈子的曲高和寡了。
原以为是商业片，但是没想到遭遇了这种中世纪舒缓叙事（坑爹的预告骗#%）
观看过程中在3星与4星之间不断摇摆。风格仍然是很A24，为了凸显风格而装神弄鬼，摄影炫技到有点让人眼花缭乱到华而不实。故事倒没有那么让人印象深刻，就是一个有点黑暗童话版的老母亲设局让纨绔公子哥成长为骑士的故事。但是导演确实有能力把这个故事拍的比较吸引人，巨人等几个段落甚至有了史诗气势，真正做到了把小成本片子拍出了大片感。PS，Dev Patel是怎么变得那么hot的，和Joel Edgerton那一亲真的是撩动心弦。
今日还是青春韶华，明日就垂垂老矣，伤感又豁达的愁思和告别.
实在是有点故弄玄虚，意象堆叠过剩。也算看了一种新风格，但不是我喜欢的。我还是坚持电影体裁，讲好故事是最重要的内核。anyway全篇说教角度学到的是：直面当下的挑战，不然未来也是回旋镖，且会持续阵痛。
妈宝男一夜成长的故事不存在的，所谓死到临头的彻悟，与这一年经历的苦难都毫无关系，只是被预见了未来宿命走向的胆怯所驱使。金发碧眼的女娃在玩弄王冠，真正的未来分明跟高文无关，他还是被off with his head。倒是琢磨下一直隐身的母亲到底是帮他还是在害他（

很难不被作者的赤诚所打动，是弟弟与哥哥的漫长告别，曾经的双头导演 现在仅剩一位，叫人唏嘘。黑白部分优于彩色部分，火车段落尤为好，但还是没法忽视转彩色之后的些许断裂感…
常识科学，哲学三管齐下。
邪魅史诗，精美绝伦的画面，一头雾水的故事。
Off with your head my knight
单就电影而言，我只喜欢它的荒诞不经和中世纪欧洲的布景
恨不得夺过绿骑士的斧头一把砍了这群人的脑袋。
追忆、缅怀与反思，是电影也是纪录片，不仅是一个诺贝尔奖作家的骨灰归乡记，也是整个意大利的二战战败史，最后用这个作家写的一个小故事作为结尾，颇有点儿寓言和反思的味道，用暴力来终结暴力是一种小孩子式的思维和处理方式，但这就是战争
整体故事框架很简单，一种裹挟的骑士精神以及终究自我觉醒的认知。朦胧的画面，梦幻的氛围，穿梭于草原丛林，有种古典童话的既视感。加上缓和画面，慢节奏，是奇幻文艺片的定位。
基于皮兰德娄的生平、作品，但保罗·塔维亚尼从一开始就代入了对哥哥维托里奥的纪念，恐怕没有哪个观众不会被影响。虽感伤但更让人看到了西西里人的从容，甚至每段都有诙谐元素
纵使系上腰带、挂上头衔……一切的失约皆是临时工的作为。如今不像是骑士的时代，每个人都像是临时工。
男孩成为骑士的成长之路，缓慢的美学电影，坚持让我看完的主要在于极佳的影像和视听语言了。
