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.'
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。
演员们的演技令我叹为观止。
看过越多西方人翻拍的莎士比亚，就越觉得黑泽明的伟大
话剧的表现形式，一定需要演员具备良好的体力，感觉说台词都特别累。
NYFF59 Opening Night｜50年后Frances再演麦克白夫人｜很舞台剧的一部电影，传统又不传统。拍得有个性，演得也有个性，but not my type…

麦克白的悲剧，重点放在“悲剧”二字上。基本上在黑白光影中将暗处的悲剧呈现出来，阴暗是绝对的黑，偶尔侧身时似乎还有光。大段大段体现矛盾心理的台词，给眼睛“窒息”感，很精彩、很累。极简黑白风又像杂志插画，略显刻意了。
表现主义风格，戏剧化台词，再次对人的欲望与宿命发出诘问。但几何感强烈的极简空间（布景），浓密的雾气、黑白的反差（光线），角度的选择（调度），都只是视觉的迷恋，缺少意义的配合。
颇具野心但效果不佳的改编。女巫的表演最惊艳。
m2211：又是摄影美学。莎翁的台词自不用多说。音效也很赞。
8分吧...画面极致...古英语跟不上是一个问题...没看过原著对理解有一些影响...太讲究构图和台词，少了电影更擅长的特写...另，感觉丹泽尔情绪表达基本靠吼...

复古的画幅，极简而考究的布景，舞台剧的形式，整体情节虽简约，但对于单个场景的设计却很有创意与深意，达到了叙事与拍摄风格的统一与呼应。
虽然是黑白影像，但摄影很震撼，女巫塑造得特别好，也是最令人印象深刻的角色。可是台词好难懂，因为基本上像是念莎士比亚的原文，完全没有通俗化，就让人难以跟随下去。虽然不仔细琢磨台词剧情也完全看得懂，但总会觉得容易走神儿。故事还是十分值得一看的，建议电影看完后重新补原著，或提前做些功课会更便于理解。影片相对于原著更突出的是麦克白夫妇是自己不愿意要孩子，而不是不能有孩子这点，让他们更有自主决定权，对自己的选择承担后果，而不是归结于命运。女巫的女演员真的吓人，身体扭曲的影响久久难忘。
麦克白其实就是一则寓言故事 跟我们解释了什么是self fulfilling prophecy 算是忠实原著了
科恩采用表现主义，却又把古典表现得过于古典，反而少了一些新意
观感不如黑泽明的《麦克白》，《蜘蛛巢城》，喜欢那个三面间谍……
太一般了，一直在用全景卖弄陈旧的黑白建筑摄影美学和用特写夸示演技之间疲劳地切换，选角亦不出彩，有黑泽明、威尔斯和贝拉·塔尔等版本在先，科恩出一部这样的新版实无必要
感觉都不像个电影了……精致的摄影+大段的莎剧独白，动用这么庞大的财力就是为了拍一部真·电影化的舞台剧?
画面有点仿伯格曼但简陋，舞台感重到不像电影；still，这版和波兰斯基版的效果我都挺喜欢
