Just over 40 years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state. Romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept and was not allowed during this period. Wedding photography (if any at all) consisted of one black and white passport photo of the couple (dressed in Mao- style outfits) as proof of the marriage. Now, China has fallen in love with love and its exploding wedding industry is worth 80 billion dollars, and it is on an upward curve. Pre-wedding photography is one of the most significant and curious parts of the industry. Every couple marrying in China will take part in a pre-wedding shoot. It involves several costume and backdrop changes where you can become a character in any fantasy you choose. For the most exotic lo- cations couples pay up to $250,000 AUD. Pre-wedding photo shoots have become an important national ritual. They are proof of the marriage but now also of love, romance, freedom, status, money and the new China Dream. As an expat living in Shanghai with a long history of coming to China, Sinophile photographer Olivia Mar- tin-McGuire was captivated by the construction of dreams through this booming photographic world. Once she started to delve deeper into this new traditional she found a unique window into China. One that revealed a country dreaming, a country rapidly booming and a country reconstructing its recent past trauma all through their own lens. China Love takes us on a wild journey into the warmth of the family web in China into the hearts of our characters and into their personal dreams with an understanding of why and where these aspirations come from. The project explores China's new position as a globalised country from its restrictive and highly traditional past - through the window of its booming wedding industry and asks what is the new China Dream when it comes to love.
音乐 剪辑 镜头配合完美，服化道和置景上颇具匠心，爽片～
电影演到一半儿，最恐怖的场景还是出现了，女主终于还是跟个即使在猿族崛起里也属于丑猩猩的演员啃了起来，还开心的滚到了床上。我曾经以为自己是个重口味电影爱好者，可当下的现实让我明白自己的承受力是多么的有限。白皮完蛋了，希望我们能再多守些年。
有盆栽反正就直接吹爆;其实原本可以做成更具社会性的主题的,当然现在这个也很不错
本片的水准随着剧情的开展分崩离析、一落千丈，尤其结尾的画蛇添足更是将本片格局拉低了几个档次，幸而极为显著的优点来救场〈成功的选角、极致的试听、以及前半段的创意〉，加一星。
一部女性角色塑造很problematic的普通心理恐怖片，不过大家还是对白人男性导演有太多幻想了，像我一样没有任何期待就好（。）
有失水准。故事架构，服化道，演员都没有大问题，镜头也好看。可一个反向开膛手故事，怎么能讲得如此空洞啊，埃导是不是也不会写女人，嗨呀。
关于夜总会门口海报的事情，据说导演听了好朋友昆丁.塔伦蒂诺的建议，换成了现在这个。看到这个名字，我就大大的感叹为什么昆丁.塔伦蒂诺能成为大师，首先他不墨迹，光这一点就甩很多人几条街不止。其次，他对度的把握，对氛围的拿捏，有非常人之处。 感叹完，再看此片，故事本身是不错的，愣是被拍成了个哗众取宠。摇头。
英国雅痞腐国风格，以惊悚片方式夹杂歌舞片，用光怪陆离灯光与戏剧歌舞呈现上个世纪伦敦Soho区纸醉金迷的繁华。但如此混搭只看到空洞和导演私心，毫无意义所在作品。安雅·泰勒-乔伊服化道算唯一亮点
电影的起始点子都很不错，但越到后面，影片在视觉呈现上就显得越来越普通了，故事发生地也从具体的地方转变成了更加抽象的空间，反而造成了一种无益的失真。
复古元素很赞，整个画面和服化道都很有质感，结局也被惊艳到，唯一不喜欢的就是女主的人设。
结尾传达的信息略有些意味不明、前后矛盾 瑕不掩瑜 中间代入女主被强暴的恐惧中 是真实恐惧了
不断地切换过去与现在、梦境与现实，灯红酒绿纸醉金迷反复照进现实，到最后还反转了一下子。
埃德加赖特大概很喜欢台阶擂台 歪小子最后的boss对决也是这样

啊？？？？？？这…………这怎么解释？我还以为是命运共同体，还以为是她的“妈妈”，结果只是房东婆婆…那她是怎么回事呢？就是能看到幻像？只能看到这一个人的故事？所以你是精神分裂？这怎么解释？？？
The Demon「Taylor」of Goodge Place.致敬铅黄美学的视听手法和恋物美学，亲手用复古迷影的利刃撕开无名诸父的咽喉，点燃类型幻想的业火符号让渴望救赎的凶犯亡灵解脱无路。两位有着近似鬼魅气质和灵动演技的演员化作镜像双姝，都市梦的覆灭也是对称手掌伤痕，穿越60年代和今日罪恶繁华的霓虹雾影之中。天真无邪的女孩迷信downtown许诺的自由神话提供平等阶梯作为一种宗教信仰，看不穿金钱物欲主导的Soho区，世上万千监牢的其中一处，是如何以具象的一座老屋，终生疯魔堵死那个曾经鲜活的金发女郎——当她还年轻，将永远被物化的标签衡量。无尽梦魇长廊，她附身她者又被动旁观，抽象表现的父权幽灵压迫无论在世死去经历千遍凝视与剥削谋杀的女人姓名，污名原罪和尾随窥视涂抹在当下的猎物身躯，永无休止。
6.5/10
非常不“埃加德莱特”的一部电影，抛去了导演以往所有作品的影子，这次大玩恐怖、铅黄、梦境和意识，既cult又不落入俗套，两个女孩之间的反复切换让观众不至于审美疲劳。但这样的不妥协也必然带来的结果是观众评价的两极分化严重，没有了“血与冰激淋”反套路化的模式，企图突破以往的作品，埃加德莱特的前程势必艰辛
体会不了影片所宣传的60年代怀旧感，也体会不了本片所谓悬疑的气氛。。。
前半部分女孩的故事和眼睛里的表达很不错，后面就跑偏了，尤其是最后的回归更是突兀，减分了。
