Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
欣赏不来，器官恐怖还不如那些纯粹的分尸血浆，到头来难道是个环保片？
Howard Shore配乐一如既往的好
小k這二倍速演技也太twilight了😭😭😭憋著笑了好多次
概念我也很喜欢，多重进化已经重塑了现实，艺术就是要抓住这种变化当中转瞬即逝的情绪并且放大，或反叛现实，或利用现实做出自己的声明，或顺应现实。类比就是波普艺术，利用崭新的大生产时代的材料和题材做艺术，或者像达达主义一样反对一战造成的现实，媒介就是时代的新产物，在这里就是自己没有痛感的身体和快速无痛手术设备。吃塑料这个想法我也很喜欢，确实也是个办法。
没劲。调成 3 倍速、黑白色，当做低成本 cult 片还行。
另，虽然任何年龄段的女人爱上维果都是比较顺理成章的事情，但是能不能不要再
很多描写都比较暧昧，以我的脑子运转来说有些费劲。很色情的痛感，结尾也直白了倒是
这没法打分… 我也像吃掉那块塑料一样，得慢慢消化。（话说戛纳真是挺重口…去年的《钛》也让我开了眼…
很有意思的体裁和设定。但美中不足的是主角的言行晦涩难懂，而对于细节的处理又粗枝大叶。我感觉这样的片子处理好的就是下一个银翼杀手。
Surgery is the new sex
长的，而是每分每秒在与环境的互动中运动
个最真实的唯一的自己。这段话表明了人的发
crash老调重弹，柯南伯格很柏林。我真没看出那是阿拉贡。。。
多给一星给大牌云集吧。N
究竟何为“未来罪行”？是对痛感与畸形的变态追求？是对自我生命的漠视与改造？还是面对进化规律时的顽固抵抗？如果说从最开始的当机立断切割器官，到后来的拖延，从看到蕾雅赛杜的“头雕”的反感，到最后自我改造，拥抱合成食物的过程是维果饰演的主角的一种思想启蒙与进化的话，他的“罪行”或许在被自己慢慢赎清。BTW，Surgery is the new sex，真是一个恐怖而新奇的观点。
看不懂，get不到这种body horror。全程捂眼睛+打瞌睡，为啥这批观众这么镇定？？小k表演还参杂着Spencer的影子，但明显这种抽筋式表演更符合氛围，成了全片搞笑担当。Q&A居然导演和主演都来了，今年第二次见到小k了！
跟戛纳邪典佳作《钛》比起来简直就是东施效颦后的尴尬作品，看得人昏昏欲睡，口味不够重，剧情还稀碎，可惜了维果的演技（不是）和蕾雅的肉体，小K更是大概率连自己都不知道在演个什么东西，白白浪费了两个小时。。。
真的是没有这个必要，这种体裁真的是找不到意义和审美趋向。看演员也看不爽。就不太行。
这玩意太不好结合了。不过思路到是新颖。新长出来的器官，不整个名副其实的夫妻肺片么
柯南伯格难得出山，而且视听和故事把控力还在。道具实感重，破败的后现代风格场地本身就蕴含着许多含义。故事虽后现代，但社会隐喻、探讨议题以及黑色幽默都很明确。
