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.
年度最佳预定。所有的符号都恰到好处，英国乡村风光也足够迷人，而当导演用符号引起你所有的生理不适时，他就已经成功了。远离男人，远离无限增殖的男性控制。
一如既往的缺少核心表达，如果说湮灭的美学风格是继承自潜行者，这部就显得更杂糅了，可是隧道设计得再别有洞天也无法构建出第二梦，院中的苹果树只是和女人的碎片最后一幕相比都显得太刻意。虽说打碎重建也算是一种本领，但总是玩视听麻痹的花招，难免会指向更难填补的心灵空虚。以及我真的很在意女主误入的英格兰（?）荒村竟然是中式建筑风格……
具有多译性的片子，不仅讲男人，女人，婚姻，宗教，生育，社会等不同面但唯独和恐怖不粘边。
冲着这画面构图打的分，结局没把女主送走快把我给送走了……现在的惊悚类电影 不深入做个阅读理解都看不懂了吧？
加兰（本身就是“花环”哈）真是很会拍植物/静物那种幽静诡异的美。这部的美感似乎比湮灭更胜一筹。配乐也很加兰，风格逐渐固定突出好辩识。最后的奇观确实让人发指，有一种无法直视是慢悠悠地特写皮开肉绽。更无法直视的可能是选角：不仅男主复制出了N个，男主和女主这两个人也长得非常像，放在这样的故事里诡异感指数级增加 …
丈夫房东裸男儿童牧师警察 连环孕育分娩时刻：跳楼被扎穿的胳膊和摔断的腿，都是死去的丈夫 拿起斧子
看到一半就知道导演肯定是男的，果然世界上最厌男的是男人。男人总是自觉自己带给了女人苦难，他们细数自己的威胁、软弱、控制、伪善、幼稚….这一切的伤害都源于恐惧，恐惧面对自己内在真正的需要，他们如此地需要女人，需要到不敢直接承认，把这种需要外化成了一些恶劣的对待方式。可是导演沉醉在一些表面的隐喻之中，还是忽略了心里的那一个女人，她慌乱恐惧，不是因为你恶略，是因为俩人不曾靠近，不曾真的懂得，也不曾互相补缺。
Dead husband, countryside landlord, naked stalker, the green man sculpture, then she went crazy…
不要相信屁话拿好武器保护自己ಠ_ಠ……ps 男男套娃着实有点cult了……
房东伪善，裸男淫荡，牧师傲慢，小孩愚昧，丈夫易怒，都是女性恐怖的类型
Alex Garland’s movie style really amazes me, he filmed the british countryside so beautifully. Wanna visa the forest of dean to see the tunnel now. Rory Kinnear got range, he can act every fucking thing, even a new born baby. Jessi Buckley is like made for these kind of movies. we lived under the patriarchy for so long. That birth scene.
又到了我最喜欢的两极分化时间。去年的《钛》就是让人难以接受的身体美学与性别探讨。虽然一直是围绕哈珀的心路变化，但这些变化的源头就是一幕幕看似不同身份实则言语一致的男人们的施压。后面的连环蜕变，我个人感觉是男人一次次以伤害自己来威胁女人被迫妥协，最后冠以“爱”之名。这自然是病态的，不该存在的。相敬如宾才是合适的，正确的。A24的文艺影片质量确实比一般高很多，大赞。
像是Alex Garland拍片之余随手创作的小品，不搞隐晦不搞神秘，就把所有的想法全盘托出且具像化，加上自己最拿手的摄影质感，前半段哪怕没有复杂的剧情也看得赏心悦目。最后的三十分钟够邪典够刺激但欠一些含蓄美，这个主题由一个男性导演拍出来，挺难得的，如果走神了，你甚至可以把它当作一部英国乡村的风光片看。
是想说男人没一个好东西？结果女主角色毫无层次…
三星半 导演的氛围营造水平无敌 最后的高潮戏份感觉能被影史铭记 寓意明显 女性面对男性的困局较为刻板印象
结尾的几个镜头，恶男不断孕育新的恶男，恶生恶，我要吐了。
他们以不同面目出现，行使着同样的伤害，跟踪恐吓指责咒骂……当你手握斧头绝不屈服地面对时，他（们）却委屈巴巴地说，我只是想要你的爱。

Mind blowing. 希望所有女性拥有女主面对伤痛自我疗愈的能力和面对压迫坚决反击的勇气。自然的不代表是合理的，应当承受的。
喜欢这个故事…………… 透露着一股绝望又残忍的诗意
