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.
前面的铺垫会让人摸不着头脑，但总体还行，结尾相对还不错。最震惊的是女主一人分饰两角！
爆笑又挺weird～今年开年恐怖片质量就这么高了，好快乐～
色情部分可以，男女主角拼命的不穿衣服，可在真正大胆展现时，又犹犹豫豫的，血腥部分恶心，恐怖片的血腥可以再高级一点，对老年人的画面不太好直视……
剧情中的摄影为了艺术追求在黄片拍摄中愣是加入正常电影的技法，而本片的摄影也不遑多让，在恐怖桥段外，还拍出美式小清新画风。
这电影让我想起一个著名笑话：用最短篇幅写一个包含政治、悬疑、惊悚、性、宗教的故事？答：oh my god 女王怀孕了！谁干的？
真正的恐怖片爱好者应该没法拒绝这种复古又有新意的迷影小品吧
好玩独立但一般。恐怖片还是很能凸现导演风格的，近几年这种砍杀恐怖片的景美术都差不多，架构也大多延续“电锯杀人狂”模式。能玩的出花样的就是杀人前的铺垫了，A24这个小成本玩的不是很差的原因导演占很大一头，很少有纯大俯拍、反复蒙太奇…等独特风格，观感还好，jumpscared有点多，到后来剩最后俩人的时候节奏慢了，有点特意升华性自由的主题了（这个用A片真的洗不白）结尾比较黑色幽默，很河里
情色、恐怖、暴力等元素的杂糅。可以两倍速观看。
看两个老年人的床戏确实是今年最恐怖的事情了
铺垫太长了，很多表达都没头没尾，导致女主吼出“我他妈是明星”时我笑出了声…
50/100 非常罕见的关注于老年人性欲题材的电影，在执行上赋予恐怖类型再为合适不过，但看点也仅于此，其皮囊与血肉都是俗套无新意的
3.5 最後20分鐘 such fun！收穫了真。嚇死和被自己開槍的後座力轟倒的奇思妙想 剪輯挺有意思 嚇人也有很認真在嚇 雖然嚇人的位對於看比較多電影的人來講不算突如其來 但效果已經夠好了 “I'd say one goddamn fucked up horror picture. ” lol 有笑到
情色片和恐怖片，看起来完全不搭的类型就这样强行贴在一起实在是艺术感满满。啊人啊年轻的时候还是不要太瘦，这样老了还是可以有点存货的。
我不喜欢它用音效故意吓人的那些片段，还有那些破环肢体的画面，引发生理不适
一个简单并且庸俗的故事，观后感就是老年人性生活也是不可忽视的。如果单纯考虑恐怖元素，该片还有那么一点点可看度。

不太理解豆瓣评分为何这么低？！
依旧是一部杀疯了的恐怖片。片中片照应的故事，作为一个对色情片有追求的导演，把后半段拍成恐怖片也很合理吧......郊外租房，行为怪异的人这种老套的故事，床震那段笑死了。
