Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
2022年的第一部电影，很惊喜在现场看到贾樟柯导演，展会也会用心，力图给北京影迷提供整套的平遥电影节体验。说回影片，的确如导演所说是个私人化电影，纯粹的个人故事写照，只能说平淡无奇。
两个小时的电影里塞了10个小故事，哈哈这要是拆分开，都能搞个韩剧了吧。虽短但每个小故事逻辑还算清晰，有意思。
第一次看柬埔寨电影，果然东方文化都是相通的
后面的一些小故事有点迷惑啊，冥 婚那个让我有阴影了，脑子里反复出现
柬埔寨电影，人们的衣食住行、社会生活环境很容易让人联想到三十年前的中国，但，除了“智能手机”。

《模特》和《红衣女人》有后劲，其他就没头没尾没主题。以前的短片集一般都有个贯穿主线，现在的短片集就像打翻的弹子盒，每个故事都蹦的没方向感。
纯视觉刺激片，不要考虑逻辑，就是寻个新鲜，好在其中男女颜值都很高哈。
救那个大命，本来觉得《齿虫》章节还行的，结果又变成了丧尸片。和之前的《韩国都市怪谈》大同小异，每一个故事发展得都挺让我意外的，呃，是意外的俗烂那种。刚开始有点好感，结果又给结局憋回去了，这么一对比感觉《怪奇宅》都顺眼多了。现在的营销号也是，怎么连这种质量的电影都要炒作。。。。
蚍蜉无以撼树 甚至寸步难移
第一次看柬埔寨电影，这个故事放在任意一个发展中国家经济落后的地区都可以，没拍出特色，分段式结构也只体现在开篇的名称上，局限于形式，比较平庸，观感也一般，不过还是有挺大的进步空间的。
茶余饭后休闲看看还是不错的，没什么让人眼前一亮的情节。
#20220108资料馆 平遥影展在北京＃ 典型的电影节项目 影像质感还不错 但故事没讲好 导演可能科长看得太多了（怪不得科长主投）可能这个片子最大的意义在于对柬埔寨这个国家的影像记录
隧道锤击女，霸凌遇红衣，铁线虫入侵，双生招魂记，隔墙异空间，衣柜藏变态，新丁配冥婚，怨念化鬼镜，人偶傀儡师，密室冚家铲。
韩影的女主绝对不会让人失望，颜值颇高，“捉迷藏”49分瞬间有点走向怪兽题材的意思。。万万没想到，堪比生化危机。
好无聊啊，本来还以为齿虫那个有点意思，结果又回到了丧尸。。。。
绝对算不上新颖，所有的桥段都见过，剧情也一般。但随便看看害挺开心，以及，塑料模特真是我的恐怖谷。
齿虫那段真的万物可丧尸。整体都很老套，没有丝毫惊吓，不过女主都好漂亮
印象最深的是父亲剪脚趾的段落，不铺垫这么多可能会好一点。
