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.
1.前一个小时基本是在铺垫，带点惊悚，情色辅助以及致敬经典恐怖片，后40分钟便开始大开杀戒，虐杀四方；2.如果让一部恐怖片带点文艺气息？其中一个办法就是让凶手在杀人之后，站在尸体前面独舞，这招在各种类型片里面都有效；3.面对各种虐杀镜头时，我一点也不害怕，当看到老头老妪鸾颠凤倒蜂狂蝶乱时，我害怕得转过了头。
岛村的角色形象非常接近，可是少了最后的银河又有什么结尾可言呢
一星给奈绪，那种隐忍和复杂演绎的很好，一星给那漫天风雪的北国，一星给川端康成老先生的关注，男主不符合心中的形象，太过于丰腴而且情绪的变化和波动没有演出来
3.5星。想起一则笑话，老夫妻看片，泪流满面。
只能说演员选的不太适合 ，或者说主演们的气场和功底还达不到足以诠释霓虹旧时代经典作品的能力 ，田中裕子和吉永小百合不得不赞美，绝对时代尤物。整片都平平淡淡毫无亮色 。
艹艹艹也太好看了吧！年度惊喜！果断五星！好久没看到这样的磨坊电影了，体验太好了哇！唯一没猜到的是枪杀竟用了两次。在获取满足感之外，它详实的社会文化背景，film on film，观众学的内在基础，还有一个在同类电影中很突出的主题参照。(刚看完夜场一出影院路边就有一个坐着的老太太对着我微笑，说实话真有点脊背凉凉的感觉了…)
没看完原著看完了电影 好像懂了又没完全懂 或许一些内在的情感是不需要语言描述的（是我描述不了） 生命本就是徒劳 但依然要活下去
卡司在线，布景、构图、氛围还是不错的，配乐与氛围相合；打光太僵硬，改编了但改编得太直白和浅薄，高桥与角色适配度一般，驹子视角优于岛村视角。川端康成对人物心理的描写落于纸上是细腻和寂寥，一旦改编成对话就显得刻意又矫情。

所以，人生的阶段不外乎两种结果，成功后陷入失去目标的虚无，或者失败后陷入徒劳。二者并无本质的差别。
生命的虚无、洁净、哀伤，在《雪国》里达到美的极致！
都是徒劳啊，都是徒劳啊，描写没见过的舞蹈，爱不会有结果的人，生又如何，爱又如何，不过徒劳。可实在太美了；倒不若川端康成文字那般洁净。哎……
爱人甚多，得失且过。
在生活节奏那么快的世界里，我很羡慕这种缓慢的忧伤
雪国是我看的第一本川端康成的书，看到这个主演阵容的时候其实是有期待的，但影片的完成度却丝毫没有达到预期效果，不管是驹子故作坚强的矛盾心理，还是叶子清丽淡雅的气质，想要通过表演来达到设想是很难的，高桥一生的造型太为失败，虽然演出了懦弱感，但岛村的怜悯和共情却被演绎得近乎类似强暴态度，特别是原著里最惊心动魄的那场大火，对美好的侵蚀和情感的消亡，竟然就用如此草率的方式呈现出来，不尊重原著，也忽略了读者和观众的感受，还白白浪费了演员，着实替川端康成感到生气
但本片导演对于自身的镜头语音极度不自信，引用大量的原文旁白来讲解影片画面，或许也是因为《雪国》名头太大吧
只能说是文本影视作品吧，导演也并没有在镜头语言上下功夫。选角我觉得蛮好啊，不然还能找谁演呢你说。一般般，但可以更好的只能说。
贫穷与苦难总是一对孪生兄弟
她眼里跳动的火光，是对幸福的渴望。爱过这件事不是徒劳。
