Set in an unspecified French village, the locals are shocked when a group of girls skinny dipping in the nearby lake (all very tastefully done I hasten to add) are killed by a group of zombiefied Nazi soldiers, that spring up out of the waters and drag them down to their demise.
A couple of detectives are brought in to try and solve the mysterious murders, only to end up as the zombies next victims. It turns out that during the war, the French resistance ambushed and killed a squad of German soldiers and dumped the bodies into the nearby lake, but failed to take notice of any of the local superstitions (never a wise move). Although, seeing as this film appears to be set in the early 80's, why it's taken so long for them to emerge and start killing people is a bit of a mystery, but there you go.
Not-with-standing, the villagers quickly organise a lynch mob to take down the zombie menace, only to end up being decimated by the undead soldiers, who's 'convincing' zombie make-up basically consists of green paint, which doesn't even cover the whole of the actors faces and keeps washing off in the lake.
There's also a bizarre sub plot about one of the zombies visiting his former daughter, who strangely still looks all of 12 despite the fact she should be in her 40's if she was born near the end of the war, but then since when did logic ever come into these films? Such as why do their uniforms still look almost new despite being underwater for 40 years, or how come the skinny dipping girls are only knee deep in the water when viewed from the lakeside, yet appear to be swimming in 12 feet of it from the underwater shots?
Bad acting, naff zombie make-up (the aforementioned green face paint), painfully obvious underwater shots filmed in a swimming pool, not to mention the plot inconsistencies bigger than the aforementioned lake itself. Low budget doesn't even begin to describe this film, which quite unbelievably was directed by respected Eurohorror director Jean Rollin, albeit under the pseudo name J A Laser.
That's not to say the film isn't without merit. I bust a gut laughing at the thoroughly ridiculous scenes of the zombies attacking the naked young girls, and the equally ridiculous slapstick battle with the angry villagers. Utterly hilarious, grab the six pack and the popcorn and have a blast!
保罗·施拉德数十年如一日地在扩展【出租车司机】的气质。马丁·斯科塞斯毕竟更会拍史诗一些，整体上还可以冷峻而不失叙事功能和环境描写。而不管是前作【第一归正会】还是本作，都沉溺在某种主角个人的气质里，用一生去与过去和解。不管这部整体上的可观看性上要好的多。PTSD还能找到新角度还蛮值得夸奖的。电影另外的有点还是因为选角，奥斯卡·伊萨卡早在【至暴之年】就证明了自己擅长这样沉静二复杂的角色。中年、西装、油头、不缺武力值的脑力派，每一个特质都很适合奥斯卡·伊萨克。
虽然我挺困的，是真困了，但是电影还是好看的，强撑着睡意看完了。
看完才明白为什么被各美国杂志评选成年度优秀电影之一，典型的“USA”式电影，外人感受不会那么深，再加上剧情冲突较弱，观众情绪无法带入，也就当作了解了一件事吧，今年奥斯卡能有这片一席之地。
本质上我觉得是过去创伤与自我救赎外加提了一下美军逼供，披了个打牌的皮。主人公很挣扎拧巴，看的我也很挣扎，在还可以-一般-其实还可以-真的一般之间来回挣扎。
《第一归正会》的模式延续，亦或该将故事追溯至《出租车司机》。只剩下与昔日罪孽搏斗的死去的心灵在对另一颗伤痕累累的心灵拯救上看到了与自我和解的希望。逼仄，压抑，故事发展缓慢，一如倾注于牌局的那份极致的冷静与控制，却也投射向回忆书写里往日监狱的折磨与狂虐。算牌和审讯都是博弈，即便被无情却空洞的眼神骗过，萦绕于影片中的喘息声也昭示着负罪的灵魂在这两个禁锢的空间中徘徊。爱情戏是败笔，而除了主角外的人物塑造也并不成功，但在施拉德一贯的故事模式和这鲜明的上世纪好莱坞风格下，让人仿佛回到了昔日斯科塞斯的世界里，而在那里，我们曾经何等感慨不已。
文本显而易见的脱胎于《出租车司机》，但老马丁slashing而富有delicacy的掌控力却是施拉德力所不及的。
替罪羊之无聊误打误撞学会算牌的帅气背头大叔。
Oscar Isaac很迷人，但劇本有點過時
5.2 PTSD的高级包装，信息的简化促进人物和观感处于失控的紧绷感，除了奥斯卡在其他角色都是多余的
how do you forgive yourself… PS值得二刷
就冲着 Oscar Issac 可以用眼睛飙演技，没白看
Oscar Isaac 梳着大背头，不知为何令我想起了旧好莱坞时的演员... 画面和配乐不错，调子极慢极隐忍，然而末尾却感觉戛然而止。
执着于过去的伤痕，妄想得到救赎，却重复撕开伤疤永远无法向前。
保羅許瑞德。Oscar Isaac。好看。
新黑色电影与赌片杂糅，鱼眼广角下的战争创伤与幽闭恐惧直直展现在眼前。
披着赌博片外衣的类黑帮片（犯罪片），但是故事没讲好。刚开始以为算牌有看点，其实不然。
和导演之前几部片子一脉相承，charlie two chins那段乳华了妈的
气质压倒叙事 氛围重于故事 迷幻的人声浅吟低唱 迷离的视角追溯过往 迷人的Isaac令我🐔叫
导演和音乐很不错，故事到后面有点崩，让我有些昏昏欲睡。
PTSD片….我以为是看打牌电影，结果？？？？？？
