Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
比较失望，总感觉结尾太无力了。那位父亲就这么死在阴谋之下了，难道这一切都毫无意义吗？
6.4分左右。
片中的几个装置可以找一个当代艺术中心直接搬进去了。总感觉今天会在梦里再见到Léa和Viggo躺在the Sark里，招我进入身体之中……
柯南伯格的人体切割恶趣味，和传统的柯氏音乐，可故事力度已不如以往。有些导演可以称之为老而弥坚，但显然柯南伯格可算不上，只有自己的恶趣味。当然，点滴处，柯南伯格的审美，服饰设计还是在线的。
不理解！柯南伯格是不是预算没批下来，哪有奇观（器官）？哪有震惊
越来越觉得给电影打星没用，同意很多打低分的朋友说的缺点，但就是喜欢啊！！
冷漠，旁观。
失掉的而感到遗憾，我们正在那条神奇的单单
大闷片，文戏冗长，讨论议题谜之过时，怎么看都觉得应该是导演20年前的作品。《裸体午餐》里的奇异器官，《欲望号快车》的性爱观念，《感官游戏》的骨头工艺，放在2022年就觉得有点吃老本了。
“手术即性”的概念确实够cult，也够吸引眼球，但是电影本身剧情乏善可陈。在喋喋不休的对话和概念解释之外，唯一亮点在于蕾雅·赛饰演的女助理与维果·莫腾森饰演的行为艺术家之间的手术过程展示。
绝对不一样的科幻，绝对新鲜的视角和体验。突破性思维，突破性体验。整体观感莫名觉得非常黑色电影。
观感为什么这么像NWR...叙事高度概念化，空间高度场景化，最后形成的表达是高度寓言化的，在一个社会构架和人的身体皆是支离破碎的境况中，唯有艺术和审美还在支持着现代性文化的框架，恰巧印证了本雅明废墟-寓言的结构。而柯南伯格，在最后用自觉进化者的眼泪，宣告了某种弥赛亚降临。一次没有加以论证的自我重复和升华。
警察真的是个格格不入的角色，从亲吻的一刻超现实的状态就泄气了，身体改造探索无外乎浅薄的当代艺术对哲学理念的极端化解读罢了
跟《钛》一样的大受震撼系列。Creepy.
所以，腾森每天和助手解剖自己的行为艺术其实是一场性爱秀？

you are a sight for sore eyes but where are you.
明显银子花的颇少，没弄出来啥科幻感，全靠灯光布景做成屏幕黑，还有蹩脚的喂饭高科技摇椅和解剖机，，，，
这部电影让我想起了去年同样是在戛纳电影节亮相的电影“钛”，我想起反派影评讲“钛”的时候波米说的，推荐给那些想知道现在的电影已经发展到什么地步的人看的，看看现在大家在讨论关注的东西是什么了。这也是我看完之后的感觉，没有什么特别重的情感宣泄，手术刀隔上皮肤那种应该是非常有痛感的画面，却好像是被打上了麻醉剂一样，感受不到痛，剥开皮肤进到内脏里面，我自己是很怕这些东西的，所以有不适感。手术、性、器官、表演、艺术、塑胶等等，我大概懂，但好像很难深入懂，可能我境界还不够。但这也已经够看了。就是让我知道世界上还有这样的电影，还有这样的表达，这件事本身就很足够了。
今年以来最好的观影体验
