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.'
想討論和值得討論的點都沒太展開（包括文化差異、疾病對家庭的致命衝擊、經濟影響、sars 意外、青春期、家庭內部的溝通問題……），擺了個很好的架子出來但看不到細節，每一塊都是淺嘗輒止的，情緒的展現（爭吵和憤怒）遠大於對困境和矛盾的深層探究。
影片开头你看到了大量的东亚文化控诉（借以美台环境对比之名），展现了标准的东亚家庭亲子之痛，叠加代际文化等因素，最关键的演讲稿的出现，琢磨着扔个大炸弹，结果掏耳朵虚晃一枪以为喷的是男权（讲真的，这片子里爸爸就是牛马），其实核心还是亲情之爱，但确实是很台湾的方式了。最后呈现了以小见大的台湾家庭情景小品。
女孩选的演员真好，满脸的刻薄寡恩；结尾没有用演讲烂俗收尾也很好。

最后一场打斗戏份和马棚独角戏太出色了，积聚了全片的负能量和伤感如潮水涌向观众。每个角色都有无以名状的怨气，无处释放，发人深省
这种不好好说话的状态我在我妈身上见过太多次，很难说是因为电影里写实台词带来的的情绪共鸣还是它就是没那么好带来的抗拒，我三只手都选瀑布。
不动声色地凌厉，家人吵架的那场戏很棒，很真实，让人太有代入感了。
不是不能感同身受。相反，完全可以理解。只是看完以后觉得，如果爱是必须以这样歇斯底里的面目出现，那这种爱还是不要了吧。
三颗半星，这种台湾家庭剧情片，总是能让人看下去，父母当然是给自己认为最好的给孩子，但孩子有时候确实是很难理解。看到芳仪晚上独自跑去马场，会觉得生气又担心，老公对小女儿的发烧不上心，会觉得愤怒，就很真实又日常母亲感受。但看完也就那样吧，可能台湾的朋友感受会深点。btw林嘉欣真美。
那细碎的难和哀，大概只有中年人能懂吧。林嘉欣影后级。不过全片的台词略有点怪。
台湾这几年拍这种家庭trauma片都快拍出模版了... 最强烈的感受反而是00年代的台湾和大陆中学（至少是我经历的大陆中学）原来这么像，老师莫名其妙发脾气的课堂，希望小孩和优等生交朋友的家长，学生放学就偷偷去网吧上网，网吧里放的歌是周杰伦。东亚小孩想要快乐长大真是不容易。
生活啊，总是容易以爱的名义错过着
在20年前的台湾，看得出普通的中产家庭想要维持一个光鲜的美国梦是有点吃力的。明明以为自己再够一够手就能达到了，却被一场疾病打回原形，妈妈内心的不甘是比女儿更强烈的吧。

得分：7
青春期遇上更年期，美国开放自由文化碰撞中国古板教条文化，还有同样对死亡的恐惧。马应该隐喻自由。
林嘉欣真是太可惜了，一代港星女神里少有演技好的，却错过了整个黄金时代。
7/10.
三星半。其他都无感，唯爱那股子精准的少年叛逆感
