Alex de Renzy (FEMMES DE SADE, PRETTY PEACHES) was one of the greatest directors of adult films ever, his career starting in the late 60's and preceeding well into the 90's. So saying that BABY FACE, stands as his crowning achievement is no small praise. This ranks as one skinflick that truly has it all, a complete storyline, fine production, and a couple of decent acting performances and some of the hottest sex scenes ever assembled in a single movie.
Big, lumbering Dan Roberts stars as the hapless construction worker who has to go into hiding following his seduction of underage but willing Priscilla (Lyn Cuddles Malone) which incurs the wrath of her religious fanatic of a man. After a near-fatal accident leaves him unconsciously drifting in the bay, he is saved by fan favorites Amber Hunt (FIONA ON FIRE) and Linda Wong (SWEET CAKES) who clean him up and then some. Hunt comes up with the brilliant idea of taking him to the Training Camp, a brothel catering exclusively for rich women and run by her aunt, affectionately referred to as the Champ.
This fancy cathouse provides the perfect backdrop for the movie's myriad sexual situations, nearly all of them handled with great style and enthusiasm by cast and filmmaker alike, shot through with a wickedly subversive humor. Standout scenes include gentle giant Roberts tender initiation of the eager Malone, their contrast in size providing an instant thrill all by itself, and the late great Kristine Heller taking on pretty much all the guys present in what has to stand as the single greatest gang bang sequence ever committed to film or video.
一定是部两极分化的电影，你能看到出租车司机的影子。保罗施拉德气质太对了，长处短处都太明显了。他太注重人物精神状态的拿捏而忽视了基本的叙事逻辑。这就让人物和叙事产生了脱节，复仇、打牌、做爱等等这些情节要素都脱离了重点。但是反而这种离心力让人物身上产生迷人气质，于绝望和痛苦中重拾人性。
被片名骗了，实际是说ptsd疗伤的事，说好的赌神呢！
不过有一说一，威廉达福又摆了一个全新角色在我面前，这大叔戏路真的好——————宽。瑞思拜。
勉强算更现代风格的布列松 但文本主题和影像始终不搭
人生如牌局，男主的冷静与隐忍是为了做个社会化的“好人”，但没有正确释放的权欲和攻击欲最终都要找到一个宣泄的出口。导演的童年生活对心理影响应该挺大的。
“据说，人在被剥夺了自由之后，才能真正了解自己。我在想，你有多了解你自己呢？”
除了鱼眼镜头以外，还有极度喧嚣的音乐，其他部分都还在考验我的观影能力和耐心
极简调度带来的张力几乎只维持了开场的二十分钟，之后就全面崩塌。难以想象保罗施拉德这种级别的创作者会做出这等简陋的分镜，所谓奇观时刻不及琳恩拉姆塞的尾尘。政治议题的融合较之《第一归正会》更加生硬。年度最失望之一
[20211225 下载]是真没get到到底在讲什么，只知道男主是真的只喜欢打牌，在哪无所谓
B那些鱼眼镜头还挺不错的，反应人物的内心，这片真的挺《出租车司机》的
和赌博的联系恰到好处 没有堆满也没有架空 但是整体还是有点点催眠了
保罗施拉德，拍一部少一部。老派也是双刃剑，迷人的noirfilm开局，监狱哲学，usa信仰破灭，什么时候能砍掉过时的爱情线
算牌人初进年轻人旅馆镜头首次出戏，整体冷感基调尚不成熟，不出色不坏。
有几个镜头从奥斯卡的侧脸几乎看到了德尼罗😂意料外非常色气的角色。跟玩牌关系不大
监狱闪回的痛苦 要"以你我的方式终结"拒绝了大男主路线
披着赌博片外衣的类黑帮片（犯罪片），但是故事没讲好。刚开始以为算牌有看点，其实不然。
# 78 Venezia # 3.5 除了男主无可替代的颜和肉以外，在沉默中的突然爆发会令不少观者路转粉，此外用于展示PTSD的扭曲镜头很精彩
故事本身也算有趣， 一个打着算牌的马甲。。。实际就是饱经沧桑的算牌人救赎和自我救赎的故事 可惜平淡无波男中音絮絮叨叨讲述自己经历和心路历程 再加上无病呻吟低沉背景音乐 不知道导演是不是想让观者在全程看与不看的挣扎与自我意志作斗争的过程 以此让观者感同身受男主心里挣扎 。。。。。。。
摄影和配乐都很好，但是故事不够戏剧化，多了真实感，却过于平淡让人食之无味，弃之可惜。
鱼眼广角镜头的部分是亮点，调度很吸引人，整体依然是PTSD与救赎的故事
