《恩培多克勒之死》将斯特劳布的极简美学推向极致：固定长镜头、意大利西西里火山地貌的粗粝质感、演员近乎吟诵的台词调度，构成一部关于哲学家自我献祭的仪式性映画。演员的表演风格内敛，通过细微的肢体语言和台词节奏，展现了角色内心的矛盾与挣扎。 威廉姆·伯格饰演的恩培多克勒既非癫狂的先知也非温柔的哲人，他在弃绝城邦的独白中流露出一种令人不安的清醒；霍华德·沃侬作为配角，仅以数次出场便架构起权力与放逐的张力。威廉姆·伯格演的哲学家不是雕像，是烧尽最后一根蜡烛的人：他跟信徒争辩时，眼尾的红不是愤怒，是困兽般的哀求；站在火山口时，背影居然比石头还凉，却又像株即将燃尽的艾草——没有戏剧感的“爆发”，只有把骨头熬进角色里的沉郁。还有霍华德·沃侬演的信徒，全程绷着个脸，嘴角那道疤跟焊死了似的，直到最后跪倒在地，你才发现他膝盖磨破的地方渗着血，原来狠人也有软的地方。这电影根本没打算让你看爽，镜头死板得要命，全是长镜头，台词跟念经似的，但那种疏离感反而特别对味。
The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna. The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator, the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination. Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.相关搜索：
