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.'
绕不开的童年情结、故乡情结。街区教派冲突是面，故乡和童年是里。导演并没有渲染冲突的紧张和恐怖气氛，一直在表现记忆中家人和故乡是温情。虽然街区冲突结束了，一家人轻松起舞，可离去的结果仍然没有改变。有人在贝尔法斯特弥留，就有人从贝尔法斯特离开。
但最后还是让我感动
镜头和音乐都很美，几个角色都很赞，很多对话都富于哲理。for the ones who leave for the ones who stay and for the ones who were lost
很喜欢 是我一直都想要的周正的构图！！！
（爱你的家人会在离别时讲"go now, don’t look back.” 啊 我也好想奶奶:( for those who stayed, for those who left, and for those who are lost; 讨论搬家时其中一册booklet是start a new journey in Vancouver, 这些事都已两年了
非常独特的视角。大时代下个人细微的感情和牵挂，反倒深深的打动我
若把此片看成是一部私家回忆，那确是很好了。
可以看作是一部治愈的家庭亲情剧 除了黑白光影 和《罗马》截然不同
北爱尔兰问题只是带过而已，最多算背景，剧情里面说是宗教冲突有些保守了吧！

不错啊，画面好看，故事简单深刻，希望能拿两个奖。最后一句台词——“Go.Go now.Don't look back.I love you,son.”
无法忍受。这样的黑白影像，这样的自传性质的文本故事，很难不碰瓷到《罗马》，但与其相提并论起来完全不能比。同样选取社会动荡大背景下与家庭往事的融合，但本片真的做到了假模假式、工业又刻意。大环境夹杂到家庭中去，但一味通过人物台词过分强调动荡不安，就像糖衣炮弹一样。片子呈现出的不是往日生活而像是流水过程，整体太过割裂，就连冲突与平复都如此儿戏，大环境-小环境没有更好融合。过分强调小男孩作为第一客体视角，将他塞入其他客体的镜头中去。摆出太多没有意义的独特机位，塞了太多不合时宜的往日金曲，就连自传性质的迷影属性也是如此苍白无力。
2.5。很疑惑这样一部片子是怎么混进奥斯卡最佳影片提名名单的，零碎的剧情在故事层面上就让人无法进入，对1960年代的粗糙还原（试图通过黑白色调来掩盖不足？）也是令时代感尽失，只能靠近乎滥用的音乐来吸引观众的注意。

Aye! 和Nancy在garden theater看的！没有字幕好多听不太懂😅但是还是很好看！| 电影院看见了预告片感觉很棒 竟然是北爱尔兰故事 本精神北爱尔兰人不会错过的...
不知道该如何评价，整体给我的感觉有点华而不实。
一个在老家的家。两兄弟，有一个大很多的哥哥，妈妈养大的，爸爸在伦敦上班，每2周回一次。故事只在这条街上，每天放学可以去爷爷奶奶家，每天上学会路过倾心的第二名女同学家，这条街被天主教徒骚扰。
视角相对的单一保证了一份私密化，而在这份私密里，故事不乏趣味和温情，但也过于着墨太深，落了表演痕迹，这部分的冲突，导演像是完全不在乎。
孩童视角的叙事，时代动荡，街区暴乱，家庭纷争，在大的阴暗混乱的背景之下，自取一丝小的温情回忆。与亲人的温暖相处，与同学的懵懂情谊，连同剧院里的色彩，共同构筑他的童年。不由得会联想到《罗马》，虽多一丝匠气，但依旧很喜欢。（2022.02.18）
【8】一个地域内新旧宗教的更迭与冲突，以及由其造成的各种混乱的社会现象，聚焦于具体的一个家庭内，甚至是一个小男孩，这种处理让全片的感情变得更加真挚，黑白片独有的精妙构图和光影也是锦上添花，在平淡中细腻、动人的一部片子。
