This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
电影还是舞台剧 我分不清 全程靠台词堆积 没看到华盛顿的表现力
喜欢这种黑白独幕剧的电影
绝佳的美术和氛围营造使本片充满了电影感，但故事和人物刻画都不足，演员表演上乘。
老师连着两次课都提了这部电影，我os：那我去看看吧
不知道拍摄意义何在，女巫演技惊人，男主也还不错，女主没什么发挥且感觉过于现代。
从两部黑白4:3看到两部彩色2.35:1，又回到黑白4:3，给人一种时光倒流的感觉。可能是因为库泽尔那版已经把现代感做到极致了，科恩要是再拍肯定躲不出波兰斯基跟库泽尔的影子，只好另辟蹊径，复古。很长一段我是对着剧本看的，果然跟我的直观感受是一致的，这一部在台词上与原著契合度惊人的高，原著台词保有量在五版中排到第一位。但即使如此，改编还是不少，例如麦克德夫是剖腹而生竟然索性直接不说了，还有洛斯怎么存在感这么高。科恩版跟最早的奥胖版是最有共同之处的，他们俩在写导演阐述的时候，总体处理原则肯定都是“表现”，尤其表现在布景上。不过当然，科恩版的现代建筑比奥胖版的原始山洞看起来要舒服太多了。这版我觉得最大的问题就是不温不火，你一眼就能看出从各个方面来说这必然是一部精致的作品，但就是让人兴奋不起来。
美术和摄影确实是没话说，但，电影真的有必要做的这么话剧吗？麦克白值得一拍再拍吗？毫无代入感。
极简的布景与美到极致的摄影，倒是很好的呈现了舞台效果！让这部戏剧味更浓。而简化的剧情也使故事更紧凑 演绎得也很优秀
莎士比亚戏剧鉴赏，无奈本人才疏学浅，最后的结局没看懂是什么意思！
舞台剧 极简 黑白 光影美学
此刻观看体验是心跳加速血脉偾张......
麦克白的故事改编的太中规中矩了，但是电影美学但是做到了极致，古典美的氛围拉满了，好像看一部伯格曼时期的看电影。
科恩兄将戏剧搬进摄影棚的艺术探索了大概是，但作为电影去看那这过分文本化的对白确实拗口出戏，然而又很符合A24诡异的气质，丹泽尔和科恩嫂的演绎是绝对衬得起莎士比亚的剧本的。
和奥逊·威尔斯那版的《麦克白》相比，故事讲得更丝滑、更工整，但是情感却显得如此的单薄。形式上的美大于一切吧。相较于丹泽尔·华盛顿扮演的麦克白，麦克多蒙德扮演的麦克白夫人更出彩一些。
布景很绝，赋予光影以意义；演员不错，戏演于光影之间。然而，莎士比亚戏剧之于我却不甚欢喜。
1:1，纯黑白，影帝影后，莎士比亚…比起电影更像是一场两小时的舞台剧，只不过呈现方式是大导演的视角…
上了两个小时的英语课lol 极简的布景就像演话剧
【非大銀幕 3.8/5.0】影片像是用一盏现代玻璃杯，盛了从朽木桶里取出的百年陈酒，酸涩的酒香先于味觉在光影中显现。古英语和戏剧化调度，在摄影（灯光、构图）的运用中展露最陈旧的新貌。麦克白的死法，原著中只提及人头落地，没有细写，我喜欢电影的处理，恶血伴皇冠坠落，生命随名利逝去。
仿佛看了一个舞台剧，黑白片也不显得沉闷。喜欢配乐，另外表白弗兰西斯·麦克多蒙德，如果不是三封了，也许阿姨还能再来一个奥提
没看过其他版本的，至少这个版本我看着质感非常不错，相当震撼。
