Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
她第一次变成男人站在河里摸着说“男人啊男人啊男人啊啧啧啧啧啧啧”这几个啧就很灵性啊
男主和男二床戏后有一个镜头，两只鸟同时飞，一只飞走了，一只却飞回起飞处，是否在暗示男二会逃走，男主会留下来。
以女巫的变形与多次“转生”成长历程及其遭遇来折射出闭塞乡村的严重性别不平等问题。视听语言挺下功夫——强化的自然声、滤镜修饰的自然光、圣歌配乐、小景别镜头与手持/视点镜头相结合，有种粗粝脏陋与内在灵性混融的诡异美感。不过影片最大问题是所谓的奇幻恐怖设定过于平庸老套——掏出内脏后塞入自己肉体的场景曾一度令我以为会有类似德勒兹“无器官身体”或者说无定形生成的电影化呈现，结果后来却只看到了非常定型化干瘪无趣的变身与多轮人生体验。女主失语的设定（若说是由于“狼女”童年而失去语言能力，亦不合逻辑，这同她略带诗意的内心独白是割裂的）与后半程的选择&叙事走向都充满了刻板印象；也别“碰瓷”马力克了，马力克并不是稍微模仿下视听语言就能达到的，而本片则既缺乏超验神性，又几无个体反叛性。（6.5/10）
剧情不行，有一种强行悬疑的感觉，男主对男二的感情本来就很突兀了，还要硬拉着未婚妻做对比，看的莫名其妙的，唯一的优点就是男二还挺好看的
同学录贱命根本不值得调查啊 隐约就有猜到幕后主使是警局高层 然后老爸保护男一身份这条线也恰如其分 冷面心慈 人物情感基本都很克制 十分契合那个如寒冬一般凛冽的时代 两个男主第一回见面就对上眼了 又欲又撩 可惜感情戏偏少了 另外男一直面自己选择不骗婚的举动加一星
冲着Natalia的新作来的 剧情画面都很耐人寻味 探案部分也很紧凑 推理环环相扣。男主们女主们都完全不扁平 无论是未婚妻还是妈妈 都表演的很出彩。
几乎要屏住呼吸看sex scene，调度得太好了，太好了，我再次体会到一种很久没有的感情。撕裂的疼痛下是茁壮成长、无法被隐瞒的生命力与希望。当忠于自己成为了一种政治选择，诚实的人就注定如此如此勇敢。“做人不能什么都怕，尤其是害怕自由。”我真开心我还能感受到这一切。
玛利亚在小女巫每次适应一个新角色过得幸福的时候便出现来嘲讽一番“你永远融入不了人类的圈子” 其实啊 玛利亚只是嫉妒 或者说更是孤独 所以啊她不断地找小孩子当继承人 大概她只是希望有个人可以陪在自己身边 什么女巫血统她并没有很在意 不然她不会那么容易被小女巫杀了自己——那一刻她终于也知道自己这么多年来都是错了的 女巫也可以成为人类 只要有爱 也将不再孤单了。
喜欢这个设定，女巫的身份变幻本身就是对男权中心制之下诞生的“存在论”的质疑，她是生成－女人，也是生成－动物，她的失语由上一代女巫（她也是女性所遭受的一切伤痛的历史化身）所造成，在她的呓语中存在着一种永不间断的韵律，“然而……然而……然而……”
好好的故事不好好说，整啥子悬疑，一整个莫名其妙。
包含了从生物性、象征性、社会性、个体性等方方面面的女性价值认识论，以女巫审判背景下传播在个体之间的诅咒为核心概念，解构了女性意识至散文般的生活结构。
年度之一来了，女性主义诗歌，中世纪田园版皮囊之下（雾），配乐太好
第一眼看到小卷毛男二，就想到了Calvin Banks……
女巫化身成人学习如何成为女人 角度新奇且表达有力 作为一部文艺片有些血腥了 作为恐怖片又未免太温柔了 难得能在恐怖片中看到这种境界的女性主义表达 实在眼前一亮 顺便特殊画幅下的自然风光以及配乐都太美了 视听上也是恐怖片观影中难得的享受
灵魂的失语是被握住命运咽喉的象征，漫长的生命之河承载着一切物的无能。即便去念诵着你的圣名也未能逃脱罪的审判，像祂一样承载分担着世人本不应承担的苦痛。魂穿和丰弥每一幅吞噬残缺灵魂的躯体黑洞，试图用无谓之勇纠正自然的残酷和爱的残缺。马力克般的自然镜头不仅能够定格天地隽永，更能够捕捉那漫长苦痛以神圣直达天堂彼岸。转瞬即逝的美好透析出世间荒凉的非人本质，虚妄纠缠沉溺于百般欲望孤独的渺小人类啊，尽其所能肆意践踏和摧毁横扫着周围的一切。所谓女巫不过是习得了爱意却被抹杀的生灵，苦涩和哽咽的话语在嘴边无法言说化作泪珠。浇灌于每片人烟罕至的荒漠汇成生命的江海，直到那波涛连绵的汹涌海浪将你我包裹吞噬。我们无法想象魔鬼的面庞模样，却无时不刻被其捆绑，只因它一直都交汇在我们的每片视线脑海，不再追逐生与死的永恒本能。
有幸在圣丹斯线上看到了首映！震撼！美哭了 所有的一切
在1985年至1987年间，波兰安全局展开了一个名为“风信子”的秘密行动，追踪和羁押境内的男同性恋者。
社会背景真的极其重要啊。有的时代的同性恋偷偷摸摸隐藏自己，而有的国家已经支持同性婚姻了。你生活在哪里包括时间维度，包括空间维度，很重要
老马利克了，惊悚/恐怖标签快撤了吧，别误导观众了
