Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
How a boy grows into a man.
致学龄前儿童的童话故事集节选，童话小镇的居民们因勇敢的女孩和她的好伙伴生活变得更美好，唯一的问题这个红色的三米巨犬确实不够可爱
可爱的狗狗！虽然红色有点膈应…不过看着它的脸还挺舒服！
（7.9/10）【La Berlinale à Paris】《莱奥诺拉的告别》关于时间与死亡。人生前的意义是自己寻找的，死后的意义是他人赋予的。一个人的死亡，将成为他人的精神寄托。塔维亚尼将本片献给过世的兄弟，与片中的怀念和祭奠在戏外达成一致。
是拍得挺美的。但是作为两段式电影，有点无聊
像在观赏记忆中的倒影，风起时漾开波纹，竟是孩童恶作剧般的搅动。光线如刻刀雕出几抹剪影，随即展开变调，肃穆的葬礼需要一把瓜子花生，歌剧拉开帷幕，滑稽剧热闹散场。
“人是必须要被克制的东西：因此你当爱你的道德——因为你将因道德而毁灭。”
黑白片段是近五年最美的影像。
骑士派的奇幻漂流 不只是回忆过去 原来展望一下未来也可以下定决心 不论怎样能做到君子一言驷马难追也是好样的 A24近几年迷幻极了
喜欢狗狗的电影，尽管情节很简单，满满的都是爱
出去赴约单挑 结果出门就被劫了 然后打了个飞机回来了…
以及，这不是一部严肃的骑士电影，它是娱乐性的。
ps 喜欢最后坐在红发女孩坟前的人还有那个小小的十字架与教堂穹顶的重叠
恐惧和胆怯是人之常情，但拒绝虚无，坦然面对，迎接解脱，也许这正是骑士精神的意义所在。
也太爆米花了吧。现在外国人对中国人的印象就是有钱？
在那些真实的灵性游戏时刻，我们突然清楚看到世俗游戏的虚妄。然而我们仍然要寻求一条道路，可以遵循着双重游戏的规则，不背弃存身其中的往日世界，也不背叛此刻的自己。为此，我们需要足以虚构出一生的想象力，以及断头的勇气。
Quite heavy both in visual appearance and symbolism, though not necessarily abundant in meaning and coherence. The somewhat progressive reinterpretation of the legend is hackneyed at best, pandering at worst
抛开鬼怪的配乐与华美的镜头，这就是一个懦弱之人最终成为骑士，取得自己荣誉的故事。
光影音画均很出彩，可惜邪气不够，说教意味过浓，中间几乎拍成了聊斋。将时间无限拉长，又穿越几层空间，居然没有展现出多少延展度。对失落的古典道德的探讨具有多少警醒意味则全看这中间有多少文化隔阂，个人比较喜欢结尾，向死而生也好，死亡既是归途也罢，都是对自我的接受与必然。
有令人惊叹的超然的素材编排逻辑。作家的具体形象被隐匿，取而代之的是吉光片羽般的授勋现场；然后很快又化为乌有，变成一捧骨灰的亡魂之旅；而在这段旅途过程去照射动乱的历史后遗症、火车上的众生相、影影绰绰的情欲场；最后居然还能翻转过来，直抵他生前最核心的创作世界，虽然这完全不是传记片，但却比大部分以文学家为主体的传记片都要更有灵魂，他的生平是次要的，最重要的是他留给世界的遗产。
