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.'
O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife. Thou knowest that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives. And in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared. 'Tis much he dares. And, to that dauntless temper of his mind, he hath the wisdom to guide his valor to act in safety. There's none but he whose being I do fear.
1.极致戏剧化的呈示，而非着手于对镜头媒介的献媚，这才意味着电影艺术真的成熟了。
对于莎翁经典的再度演绎，这一版相较于影史上较为著名的奥逊威尔斯和黑泽明的版本，亮点在于黑白摄影和极简的服化道美术，以及更加具有舞台剧质感的表演和置景，所以这一部4：3的画幅更像是看了一场舞台剧。没想到导演是科恩兄弟的哥哥，出品方是影迷的老熟人厂牌A24。
麦克白和夫人的第一次对话太精彩了！
略失望吧，预告骗了属于是……影像上有一些惊艳时刻，声音设计也有点意思，但总体比较乏善可陈，观看过程一度感到无聊，究其原因可能是它在文本和形式上都无甚新意，风格化就只是为了风格化而存在，遑论像《灯塔》那样做到二者的自洽和互相支持。像有的评论说的，在《蜘蛛巢城》之后，再做这种改编可能已无必要了。B
比起《绿衣骑士》，以极简美学，比其空洞的符号堆砌更加光秃；以惨白和浓厚的光学，比其更缺乏生命的涌现。
当万千黑鸦从路边飞过，就象征新一轮的杀伐又将开始。由欲望勾出的自我，往往会在邪恶之中印证自己的本我。极简主义的舞台剧式风格，黑白影调配合小画幅的设置，导演几乎将所有的视点都聚焦在人物的表演之中。对于莎士比亚的麦克白解读有很多，对于这种影像改编往往要加入作者性才会不落俗套，他将麦克白的欲望归结于自我的反叛和自省，利用这种具有规律的人性思考来体现无常的道德困境，只是表演和摄影太过亮眼，让人总觉得顾此失彼…（真的觉得表演性奖项全给这部作品也不为过）
科恩哥哥独立打造吗，他是有点想表达的东西啊。极具风格化的一部电影，从画幅到布景，再到表演到台词，完完全全莎翁年代味了，文绉绉的话语搭配在华盛顿身上，显得非常反串和搞笑，但是进入麦克白的世界以后，一切就都醇厚正宗了。古代人死于预言，这回是移动的树林能杀人
I have no words it’s so well made in every single aspect. I loved the witches, the birds, the leaves, the girl in the water, the monologue. Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington are THE actors of their generation. Will need a rewatch with subtitles in the future.
像是在看舞台剧一样。莎翁可以拍，但没什么必要。个人不太喜欢丹泽尔·华盛顿扮演的麦克白，感觉就是把《籓篱》的表演模式照搬了过来。
形式上做到很多了
影像风格上极力靠近上世纪电影的质感，摄影构图、布景有点布列松极简主义的味道，两位老戏骨台词功力无可挑剔，算是众多改编版本中比较出彩的一部。
此刻观看体验是心跳加速血脉偾张......
表现主义&极简风格。
强舞台布景，光与影辅佐戏剧张力，绝佳的构图、调度与声画剪辑，麦克白宅邸绝对是近年来最好的电影场景之一。科恩嫂和丹泽尔，他们呈现了好的表演，但同时将违和的语速、姿态与步伐带入了悲剧之中，最精彩的段落：科恩嫂梦游（6.5/10）
摄影水准很高 但是整个剧情 逻辑很平庸 毫无亮点 粗浅
上一次看把沙瓮剧撤下真实舞台的还是空王冠，不得不说空王冠连它十分之一都比不上。这部真的制作太优越，从节奏到画面、细节都很讲究。
台词还是值得品咂的，直观地感受到了莎翁的魅力
6.0 布景甚至光都假得很——舞台质感，要说优点也只有这点了，至少给了一种体验，但这也不过是布鲁诺的功劳，那么单独的科恩，他的贡献呢？
Style over Substance 🥱🥱🥱
