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.
异教的哈姆雷特，北欧的王子复仇记。故事时间点正是基督教逐渐一统欧洲，原始宗教及瓦尔哈拉神殿将要崩塌之时。影片背景极其宏大，北欧奥丁神话展现得相当充分，主要场景又放到了颇具异星感的冰岛，且大牌明星云集，制作非常精良。前面的演绎还很流畅，后面的故事都有些垮了。导演为了按自己的思路走，而不顾故事的内在逻辑，几处情节不合情理。
人心是一座眠火山 冰冷 炙热 焚毁一切包括自身 妮可基德曼在山坡上大喊kill him 因为轻视 所以可以亲吻 也可以动杀心 我感慨北欧人的感情强烈 朋友说“毕竟ad三位数 没有各种媒介载体只有人类自己的精神” 音乐震撼 层层海浪一般拍打着耳膜
冰岛风光+王子复仇记+北欧神叨设定=三星，Nicole脑残粉和音乐加一星…氛围制造挺好，raw得精致…只是uncle的小王国过于寒碜…主角如此无敌竟然要挂…
艾格斯还是适合拍神神怪怪的东西，对于史诗明显力有不逮。
当痛觉消失，当手术刀切入身体成为一种获得快感的途径，当人类可以随意操纵自己的器官
“听我呼唤，奥丁，众神之父。
挺好看的，只是剧情对话什么的比较戏剧，可能有人觉得不够现实。如果拍一部正统好来屋的类型，那一定非常好看。
Hamlet式主线剧情真的玩不出什么新花样了，在北欧神话民俗已经快被好莱坞用烂的现在也实在没拍出太大新意。作为冰岛旅游宣传片目的达到了（想去看火山😢
我tm还特意下了个4k的 拍的真美下次不许再拍了
整部片的夜戏/暗夜戏居多，所以电影院观看是必须，否则很难还原电影创作者想传达的氛围/意境。音乐从头到尾都很满，北欧神话借用的不错，如果没记错，这大概是第一次电影院看到认真描写北欧人的原始残酷，以及神，仪式。演员表演的很戏剧化，配合古典化英语的用意，也算是相得益彰。（NK有些段落会穿越会现代，大概真的是对白能力的问题。）故事很简单，是王子复仇记的脚本，但是北欧神话的内核，人像木偶，神话脚本/神才是主控，曾经如此，现在和未来谁又能说不是？
雷声大，雨点小。本片由于题材另类和前卫，上映之前关注度很高，但得见真面目后并未觉得如何惊艳。题材确实很新颖，但是观感很平淡，也许是曲高和寡吧，至少我觉得影片的娱乐性很弱。
心理辅导全靠吼 应该组个北欧复仇者联盟 让e大一家子来演
为什么我看的像个半成品？？？打算出系列电影？
对白完全莎化了
镜头还是不错的，但整个长镜头下来，打架的人还没有我小区做核酸的人多。安雅这个角色发挥空间不大，感觉导演预算起来了之后反而不知道该怎么拍了，就一种左右逢源的无聊。结尾是什么鬼啊，真·火口的二人？
妮可·基德曼的表演可以封神。剧情和亚历山大的表演中规中矩，但还是有亮点。安雅反正又像在拍画报。
Robert Egger第三套長片，片商何時考慮為發行添加字幕？
跟“启示”中间大概隔了100个“贝奥武夫”，导演还是更擅长拍文艺恐怖片。妮可·基德曼的角色把我给整懵了，开始以为是王子复仇记，到后面居然是...孝庄秘史？？？
又一部沉迷于神话影像氛围而内容空洞乏味的形式之作，这类作品的现代文化价值几近于无。
