UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
A24的品质看来也是层次不齐，热衷于惊悚片倒是真的。相较于《仲夏夜惊魂》素色静谧的影像氛围，这一部反其道而行，完全依靠调色来渲染，血腥程度也没有退步。拿性说事，这一部还算触碰到一些新颖的思考，老龄化边缘化，身份认同与存在的意义等。参加过两次世界大战的霍华德，海军陆战队退伍改行男优的科森，两人的类比有点意思，一位力有不逮，一位执着于情爱之外的性交。斧子劈门经典桥段又被拿来玩了一通，那片湖泊戏不知是不是从瑞典电影《边境》里抄来的。剧作模式及结构早已被用烂，表演也无甚亮点。
高桥一生的服装让我觉得他是一个杀手，穿过长长的隧道，便是雪国，我们的主人公要开始暗杀任务了……
有略微感受到那种悲伤的爱情，是日本特有拧巴的感情，那没用的"徒劳"感有传递到，但可能跟大段的独白关系很大，而且最后脑中电影去揭秘的部分却有种氛围上的破功。节奏比较慢，支撑我看下去的是奈绪的美丽和高桥一生的阴郁气质。
剥离原著看的话，还行吧，结构跟悬疑片似的，不停抖包袱我人都给抖蒙圈了，就没一个正常人，有病得治呐米娜桑！以及，剧组能不能让老公少抽几根烟…
导演处理景这块还是到位的，但最后变推理有些破坏原著那种感觉，叶子是驹子纯净的化身，岛村是驹子热烈的幻想，是三个人也是一个人，最后的幻灭是驹子一生的幻灭，是驹子一生的徒劳罢
奈绪演技收放自如！隐忍的爱付出的爱，每个人都有难忘的爱，用旁观者着就能看到的切片构成故事，这种信息的错误，无法表达的自分，气氛到位了，还有什么不满意的吗？
非常迷影向的成人恐怖A24。说着与原剧本无关的《精神病患者》麦格芬，就粗暴简单的致敬一场不再有海斯法典限制的刀入戏；进了地下室，理所当然就该《闪灵》了，只不过来了个猎杀关系的倒装。平行蒙太奇和双格画面的同步使用，以及毫无剧情和美学意义的频闪剪辑，加上黑白电视里宣教所带来的理性蒙太奇，完全实现了片中摄影师所言，我们要拍一部有艺术追求的nice dirty film.
没必要把故事讲那么清楚，驹子的爱情和叶子的爱情的徒劳，二世祖的虚无，火车窗上的倒影，雪晴山上发光的胡枝子都比这个并不有趣的故事重要得多。
哎，我是真不喜欢苦情戏。不过话说回来，就算大家都这么矫情，把想说的话都通通憋在心里不说，大部分的时候剧情还蛮抓人的。主要是主角演技好，这个叫奈绪的女演员有点厉害啊。这戏看到最后，总觉得缺了点什么，然后深深叹了一口气，舒服了，圆满了。哎。。。以前记得也出现过这样的情况，是看<半生缘>的时候。爱情就是这么做作。苦心经营，敌不过命数啊。
何となく好きで、その時に、好きだっと言わなかった方は、いつまでも懐かしい。
前三分之二真不行，后三分之一高良健吾出来还行。。
确实感觉驹子和叶子那条线太隐了，看的时候是有点暗戳戳的情愫但还是太少了点，直到看了评论才恍然大悟，也可能是我看的不够仔细罢，btw摄影画面确实值得一看
反过来，只有极致的努力才有可能成功，什么是极致的努力，就是那种近乎毫无可能的结果还是去放手一搏。
感觉好像在看一部悬疑片，一直在探究他们四人之间的情感关系，想找书来看了…白雪皑皑，和服女子的画面，虽然带着徒劳的无奈愁绪，却还是美的
氛围感有我喜欢的部分 两个视角把故事讲完整了 有一些爱不能说出来的不解 駒子有些让人不懂的地方 不过演的还蛮让人能沉浸的 高桥小哥工具人哇
最后20分钟把原作的含蓄朦胧全都整得直白通俗了。不过奈绪是真的美啊
演员演技，镜头画面，选角都没有任何问题，但凡看过原著小说也不会给这么低……
A24出品，经典双重文本戏中戏，伏笔巨多~视听也很有设计，唱歌同框剪辑那段还有全片吟唱呻吟交替的音响真的绝了...就是第三幕的暴力稍显颓势，节奏稍差且爽感略低于期望，好在结局成功拉回，年度必看！（虽然本来期待的屠杀拍进成人片并没有出现，但还是蛮想看成片的ww
《雪国》原著剧情就短的几乎没有啊，虽然对剧情不抱有期待了，但是对画面和氛围充满了期待。文字的“行间”能表现出来多少呢？
红色的火焰，白色的雪，黑发的古典美女，再加上文艺男附体的益生菌。
