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.
然而反观其内容本身，又一定程度上为其概念化、系统化的主题结构所束缚，其体量本身不足以承载如此繁杂的人物象征，亦难以在兼顾其系统的同时维持戏剧现实的节奏，故而在一些段落（由以高潮戏为甚）的处理上略显琐碎，繁杂，反而缺失了力量。
7.5/老版演员都不熟悉，看得昏昏沉沉，但本片总体来说算是一部不错的翻拍、改编，比相近题材的《算牌人》好看。可能是台词写得太直白了，让这个“行骗”的故事没有满足观者的好奇心，所以评价很一般。最后的反转很一般，关键一个小时才出场的布兰切特这位最后的赢家戏份太少了，一切焦点都落在库柏这个大男主上，一点也不“黑色”。
70，现在是流行花一半篇幅写个序章还是怎么？
消遣片
畸形秀+精神分析，这个反人类的文本好戳我兴趣点。人类需要刺激就创造“怪物”，需要宽恕就创造“上帝”，需要原因就创造“精神分析”，骗的人越多越接近神明与真理。有点好奇老版的渎神程度，新版删了宗教的部分，但看着痕迹还是挺明显的。马戏团确实太长了，不过我估计陀螺真正想拍的就这段，一兴奋就塞了太多又不舍得删，结果又长又赶，反而没有尽兴，还不如美恐。到后面观感反而上升，整个电影作为畸形秀本身，以商品的滑稽姿态被包装给观众。而马戏团就是包裹商品的包装盒，扮演着氛围组、呈现主题和完成衔尾结构的作用。演员方面我反倒觉得选的不太好，库珀演这个角色有点太老了，没那股莽劲儿。布兰切特更夸张了，哪个心理学家会长得这么有侵略性，病人一看她就会紧张吧……
我觉得新版有点被贬得太狠 我觉得改编很好 真实书写出了人生的宿命感
大魔王到底起了个什么作用？很多没有说明白的地方，表达的也比较隐晦。
7.0 超长第一幕，陀螺的黑暗风格得以充分展现，剧情简单，节奏慢，头重脚轻，选角失败（男主）。童年创伤，怪人故事。
还是前半部分马戏团的部分比较好看，为啥我有种库珀台词多了，戏反而变拖了的错觉。前半段没啥话的地方味道就很对。
摄影、美术真是一贯托罗的细致扎实，原以为会是一个魔幻故事，没想到是一个阿加莎式的故事
P.S.很可惜的是因为明天要上班，片子分成两部分看完了
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！
本来还在琢磨为啥把背景铺垫得如此详尽，甚至到能说冗长的地步。突然灵光一闪—我看你个陀螺就是单纯想拍马戏团！(当然确实也很适合拍
导演一贯喜欢的重口风😆节奏真慢。。上一个因为节奏慢没看完的还是一个明星的诞生😂
没差那么多，就差一点点——骗老头失败、医生处翻脸本该是最高潮处却差一把火，否则起承转合会顺畅许多。另外就是简中译名非常不行还带误导性。
这是践行三天工作制前的西班牙？为啥能为了评选，还几乎996了呢？主配角从形象到个性都非常鲜明，可人物关系及伴随的冲突又过于简单粗暴。
心中总有缺口
I thought this was going to be Guillermo del toro's The Prestige but no
原以为就一些成功好莱坞片的成熟杂糅 实际上比又臭又长稍微多点精彩之处
天啊，这样的卡司，这样的布景，这样的摄影，拍出了一个什么玩意儿？可见剧本到底有多重要‼️
