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.
6.5/10 摄影尤其是构图当然很精致，也描绘出自己对贝尔法斯特难以割舍的情怀，一个充满人情味的城镇跃然幕上，但终究还是太私人了，或许会因为某一段的纯真与质朴发笑，但远远未能达到入戏的程度。
多好的一部片子。我喜欢这小朋友的视角，更喜欢老爷子诠释世界的方法
私人乡愁故事。go, go now, don't look back, I love you
说到底还是私人情调加分了，问题出在简单的不像回事啊~
这小男孩怎么这么油腻
到底在讲啥个故事啊
但是，这种生活碎片采集式的手法确实导致整个影片哪里都涉及一点点但没有一处是深入讨论的。尤其是加上大量的插曲——大部分还是直接以bgm附着与故事之外的——更是冲淡了在那样的背景下应有的迷失感与压抑感。
大型室外情景剧既视感，小男主互动角色，除了爷爷奶奶两个有点人性（妈妈也有点情绪），其他角色感觉都是棋子。家里和街道场景太缺乏生活痕迹了，暴动完路边整洁的比刚铺完沥青还新，可能导演对自己的童年回忆加了超级滤镜吧
爱尔兰的历史纠缠是影片的背景，爷爷奶奶是全片亮点，然而总体上觉得缺点真实感，仿佛看到了存在于记忆中的片段，与主角小孩越近越真切，远些的就有点虚了。
将童话与现实完美结合起来，将历史与现在带到我们每个游子眼前，而那最后的台词直击我心：go, go, don’t look back. 只因过去一年我也说了好几次相同的话。评论里很多人说这很导演personal情愫，可我却只看到一种与我们的互通，丰富，引起我多层面的共鸣。意外潸然。
写散文能不能也真情实感一点啊
救命！不是黑白+社区生活+小男孩+年代暴乱就是《罗马》！这可能是个骡子！
第一眼真的很《罗马》 黑白片讲乡愁 但对标未免质量差太多 毕竟罗马也不仅仅讲得这些 表演上小男孩挺灵 喜欢妈妈和爷爷的表演 氮气没什么发挥空间 爸爸的....咱们就是说 没提SAG都是有原因的 KB的电影还是有距离感 我可能体会不到他的电影乐趣了 但好在他自己没在里面演个角色 可能也没有合适的角色吧
在那个年代，爱尔兰岛因为政治和宗教而引起了诸多社会问题。而导演通过一个孩子的视角来观察这段苦难经历，这段经历给在这里生活过的每一个人——无论是留下的人、离去的人还是失落的人——心中留下不可磨灭的回忆。这是专属于导演的回忆，它让我们在历史的阴霾中依旧还能感受到导演记忆中留存的那些幽默和快乐的童年时光。
被critic & reviewers嘲得那麼難聽的理由大家心知肚明了，幸好進場前惡補了羅馬不然誰不被騙過去啊
it's actually a bit hard to understand the lines with the accent.. but still such an interesting angle... and it's amazing that some childhood memories seems never fading even after a long time. a powerful work with many heartwarming moments that still resonates with me after the movie. well, TIFF does have taste. ps. it's strange some historic events look so absurd now but at the time..
Kenneth Branagh还是适合莎翁和阿婆。
pop说，“你是贝尔法斯特15区的巴迪，无论你去哪里变成什么样，这永远是事实。” 所以故乡是离开故乡以后的身份证，也是漂泊在外的一份安全感，像牵着风筝的线一样。好像很多导演最终会拍一下自己的故乡，让我想起贾科长说的回望故乡赋予我们获取看世界的最初的经验。
可能是有点想拍一部像罗马一样的电影，不过感觉还是差了一些。不过对童年和家人的描绘很是不错，在混乱的时期，家人就是最好的支柱。另，配乐很不错，尤其还听到了Declan唱过的几首民谣
历史上的北爱尔兰冲突，是九岁孩童眼里一场迫使他们举家迁离的沉痛记忆。但即便在这样一个随时有暴力枪火的环境，那段童年时光里依然有着初恋、电影、亲情等等让人莞尔一笑的生活小美好（里面的彩蛋很有意思）。这部半自传式的作品，是Kenneth在疫情lockdown期间的回思感悟，对爱尔兰人身份的追根溯源，也是一封致以家乡满腔柔情的告白信。（Q&A期间导演一度潸然落泪呜呜）但话说回来，查了一下发现北爱问题依旧存在，那么导演在这里是否带有偏袒某方的个人情绪了呢？另外，很难不把这部跟Roma作比较，而后者在我心里大大胜出。电影的镜头语言虽有炫技嫌疑，但这些刁钻的构图，非常戳我的审美。最后表白一下小演员Jude Hill，选角太出色了呀，好想抱回家！
