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.
大魔王和小白兔在《卡罗尔》之后的再度合作，这部到最后倒有点了不起的盖茨比那味了，虚假刻意的纸醉金迷。
有没有一种可能，泡在福尔马林或毒酒里的畸形标本有一天跑出了罐罐，长大成了一名电影角色，没人知晓他的身世、他的欲望、他的结局。热爱收藏畸形标本何尝不是一种恋尸癖好？马戏表演，其实是复古又魔幻的恋物崇拜。巨大而浮夸的电流穿过，只带来了一小阵麻木的肌肉痉挛，与一众不明所以的傻瓜观众的惊呼，这就是恋物癖导演们所追求的电影体验。
精神分析大战读心术，结论：还是得看塔罗牌的。毛骨悚然的浪漫。
陀螺最大的优势在于能赋予影片出色的视觉设计与氛围，最大的缺点则是精致的画面下空洞的表达内容。其不知取舍过于冗长的铺陈段落如若在最后不能累积绽放，那对于观众就是煎熬。 2.5
结局真是讽刺啊。。兜兜转转回到原点了
不知道是库珀太没魅力还是电影本身太没魅力，总之看不进去。《不要抬头》里觉得凯特布兰奇的奇怪样子是刻意的化妆，这里看好像脸真的有点不自然了，反正她也越来越徒有气场了，大概被大魔王这SB称号把演技都吸走了吧。
又臭又长 男主这个演技可以说几乎是没有 在魔王和威廉达福映衬下约等为零 可怜麻辣也只是来做个花瓶 毫无人物弧光 陀螺对丑东西到底是有什么迷恋
好长 最后感觉就是个普通的故事 浪费卡司 虽然分那么低我都还是看了
通灵术就是一念地狱，内心自卑的异乡人对名利的追逐就像片名一样，nightmare alley通往噩梦。
节奏上是失衡的，但对我来说可想看怪诞马戏团的部分，恨不得陀螺全这么拍🤗
心中总有缺口
巴登很好，本片也可以看，但我真没什么想说的——把员工当私人奴隶？把实习生当性资源？对老婆不忠？对维权下属用尽毒手？欺骗、控制、企业德不配位？西班牙资本家真是堕落。是的，但你回来多搜点新闻多看两眼报纸，去仲裁走一圈，你会发现巴登这老板居然还算不错的。
从主角躺在鸡笼中间就能预料到的书档式架构还是那样有震慑力，so ironic,so destined。

前后呼应还是可以的 男主最终成为了他口中没有soul的geek 但是凯特那个Doctor角色的行为动机真的有点不清晰 还有说的很厉害的那个2号客人那段剧情很虎头蛇尾 把自己的女友叫来装鬼魂 一秒破功是什么鬼？而且这样的大老板竟然被男主这个骗子在自己的地盘赤手空拳打死？头号手下被他用车撞死？总觉得过于敷衍
这么豪华的阵容，成片就这……不知道陀螺是怎么了，能不能回到你拍《水形物语》时的水准啊！电影前半段铺垫的真是太长了，看了一半我甚至还睡了一觉，好在后半段渐入佳境，观感有了质的提升，结尾很不错！
本意是讽刺资本家，但是看前半段我只觉得员工一个比一个不靠谱，后半段的讽刺力度也很弱，真实的职场要比这部片子讽刺多了。
So boooooooring，看得几度差点睡着，Rooney又是这种蜻蜓点水的角色，魔王也是，反而Toni比较出彩，不是这卡司撑着，这电影真的是一塌糊涂。
The irony of self-fulfilling prophecies. Or is it an allegory for failing to take therapy seriously? The idea is good -- that everyone's opportunists in a hustler's world, except for the innocence that offers love and support with almost no boundaries until they get deeply hurt.
AMC 没看过老版的，故事节奏很差，导致两个半小时让我觉得过于拖沓，毫无必要；马戏团真没必要着墨这么多，和后面的故事发展有很大的割裂感。其他方面都很好，有点可惜。好莱坞大概真的拍无可拍了，不是炒冷饭就是炒冷饭，还炒不好，食之无味。
