Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
艾格斯擅长的心理惊悚被装腔作势的氛围和台词冲淡，单纯炫耀性质的长镜头加重了情节的割裂感，古典戏剧被分割成无数个独立乏味的小段，空洞程度直逼库泽尔《麦克白》。
整部电影有着和《女巫》截然不同的气质，不再是神秘丛林的阴气重重，取而代之的是极端化的兽性和男性气质，冰岛的辽阔草原和电闪雷鸣为电影提供了最为天然的绝佳舞台，极具地方性色彩且同样低沉嘶吼的配乐带来了更高层次的视听盛宴，油然而生的史诗感和宏大场面让略显单调的故事情节也沉浸感十足
冲两大女神看的，没想到还有Bjork惊鸿一瞥！导演用肃穆清冷的风格展示了北欧文化，所以不好看但仍值得看。后面复仇部分的剧情拖得不合逻辑，降分了，惊喜之处是大妮可自爆的一段，非常精彩！
我希望导演能够出一期布景调色教程，顺便再给安雅拍一套精灵女神风的裸体写真。其它的就算了。华而不实，这是我对《北欧人》和《女巫》的评价。
比例的问题，还是别把少例当成常态吧
这是为当代人解压的电影，里面的角色都单纯得充满安全感。不会让你被人类的阴谋折腾得身心俱疲。那俩人决斗的地方好像穆斯塔法，有几个镜头E大也神似老王，好想叫他快点占领高地啊。
受尽折磨 背负使命 血脉传承 每次看这类的题材都梦回权游
真北欧王子复仇记，最原始的那种野性还是震撼到我了，血腥暴力镜头绝对是近年来有的一拼，最后一场E大在火山口的打戏拍得实在太美太壮观，Anya全程都美得发光，真适合演北欧人。口音重得我怀疑人生，E大几乎都在咆哮，因为听不懂反到有一种诗意，虽然都是大场面，但莎剧的舞台感还是很强。但我不喜欢参杂在里面的宗教和神灵的元素，可能我还是不太喜欢Robert Eggers想把一个莎剧拍成反传统的类型片。
被IMDB的高分骗了，应该是近年来影院观影体验最煎熬的一部了，刚过半就想离场了。本来中世纪脏不垃圾的画风就已经让人生理不适了，还故意将镜头对准各种骷髅，爆头，死尸，各种血腥长特写，而且不是昆汀那种血腥，而是非常写实的肮脏的静态长镜头大特写！配合吵得人头疼的人兽吼叫，不得不让人怀疑片子是奔着催吐去的。也别扯啥艺术性了，bachelor测试一条都过不了，原著中哈姆雷特的困惑和思考都没有了，就是个男人们杀来杀去，女人和孩子受难的故事。
都能看下去，可看到最后有点受不了跳了一下，结果就结束了。。。2.5
绝大多数场景的镜头都是固定机位拍摄，好处就是平静，观众不会过多的带入到电影里，但这不能说是拍摄牛逼，只是一种方式而已，尤其是导演想拍成史诗般的戏剧形式，这也造成了一个后果，那就是剧情发展不算明晰，时间线模糊，特别还有很多神神叨叨的内容。
2.维京人与东斯拉夫人的血缘关系
大型Rammstein mv，岩浆上打架，不占个高地是什么样的后果已无需多言
北欧版王子复仇记。 前面还行，后面索然无味。
跟《女巫》和《灯塔》比，导演又进步了许多，视觉文本陌生感很强，情节简单。同样的语境，进入东北腹地就是我想拍的感觉。
大小谎言还是夫妻 这部成母子了 刺激
镜头调度，服化道很不错，但是剧情太简单了，作为复仇来说不够爽，还有动作设计拉了。
孤苦飘零，几许风雨盼天晴~ah
视听体验优于叙事本身。一个被命运所驯化的可怜王子通过复仇自我毁灭的悲剧。对男主的响屁印象深刻，此天子气也。
（票房惨淡口碑也一般，估计与颁奖季是无缘了…
