The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
和看梅艳芳的感觉一样，再多演绎都比不上本人一帧。比不上他拿破锣嗓子唱一句。啊，老头儿要过生日了。
北野武的火花，煽情的方式太没新意但还是为师父流泪了
马克·里朗斯优雅掌控全场，全片的节奏尽在导演掌握之中，可以说是完成度200%的《不速来客》。
记性好的时候，看过的东西会像走马灯一样在脑海里迅速的过一遍，现在只有一个模糊的，朦胧的印象，有点像消化不良，堆积在那里。我说这些，是因为当我想说什么的时候发现什么也想不起来了。

影帝咋演也不像北野武呀，老年那个特效太扯了，干啥不真找北野武呢？
很不错，全方位无死角的不错。
一个刚中了弹只是被简单缝了缝针就能站起来走来走去？反转太刻意了。
4.0/5.0 煽情太直白 第三幕依旧眼眶湿润
《模仿游戏》编剧的导演处女作，发生封闭房间里的多重反转剧，充满舞台剧风格的野心之作。有点像西德尼·吕美特的《死亡计中计》。但可能因为设计感太强，惊喜和悬念都未能坚持到最后。如果导演不是花大部分心思于戏剧结构的设计，其实可以像开头一样，多拍一些主人公裁量衣服的情节。这种沉浸于手艺和细节之中的戏份，极富质感。有《魅影缝匠》的神韵。期待导演的小说《最初的光明，最后的黑暗》早日搬上荧幕！
我能把正的忽悠斜了，能把蔫的忽悠谑了，能把尖人忽悠嗫了，能把俩帮派过的挺好，我给他忽悠灭团了。
3.5
剧场感太强烈了，这种剧情紧凑又张弛有度的室内戏我好爱。
找了钱记得拿回来给我。这次是用徒弟给的钱付徒弟的打车费。和第一次和徒弟要500元的踢踏舞鞋一样，都是羁绊。现场喜剧和电视艺术的旧新碰撞。
来源于草根阶层的表演艺术，最后都是绚丽平淡的浮世绘。
虽然反转自然也聪明，但捱不过前半段实在太拖沓，最后想鼓掌可拍不下去手。
“裁缝，一直在听，从不说话。但从没有人想过：他心里在想什么。”
没看太懂也不会想看第二遍。不过老爷子的演技和英伦腔着实令人赏心悦目。
小成本佳作，剧情工整多次反转BUG不明显，马克·里朗斯发挥出色。总结说就是各方面做的都不差，但也称不上最佳，尤其是几次为了反转而反转没有做好铺垫，显得非常生硬。最后就是这个译名，誓不低头到底什么鬼？直译又是什么鬼……
佐伊·达奇的演技真的是差，只要她开口，就让人出戏。
