Set in an unspecified French village, the locals are shocked when a group of girls skinny dipping in the nearby lake (all very tastefully done I hasten to add) are killed by a group of zombiefied Nazi soldiers, that spring up out of the waters and drag them down to their demise.
A couple of detectives are brought in to try and solve the mysterious murders, only to end up as the zombies next victims. It turns out that during the war, the French resistance ambushed and killed a squad of German soldiers and dumped the bodies into the nearby lake, but failed to take notice of any of the local superstitions (never a wise move). Although, seeing as this film appears to be set in the early 80's, why it's taken so long for them to emerge and start killing people is a bit of a mystery, but there you go.
Not-with-standing, the villagers quickly organise a lynch mob to take down the zombie menace, only to end up being decimated by the undead soldiers, who's 'convincing' zombie make-up basically consists of green paint, which doesn't even cover the whole of the actors faces and keeps washing off in the lake.
There's also a bizarre sub plot about one of the zombies visiting his former daughter, who strangely still looks all of 12 despite the fact she should be in her 40's if she was born near the end of the war, but then since when did logic ever come into these films? Such as why do their uniforms still look almost new despite being underwater for 40 years, or how come the skinny dipping girls are only knee deep in the water when viewed from the lakeside, yet appear to be swimming in 12 feet of it from the underwater shots?
Bad acting, naff zombie make-up (the aforementioned green face paint), painfully obvious underwater shots filmed in a swimming pool, not to mention the plot inconsistencies bigger than the aforementioned lake itself. Low budget doesn't even begin to describe this film, which quite unbelievably was directed by respected Eurohorror director Jean Rollin, albeit under the pseudo name J A Laser.
That's not to say the film isn't without merit. I bust a gut laughing at the thoroughly ridiculous scenes of the zombies attacking the naked young girls, and the equally ridiculous slapstick battle with the angry villagers. Utterly hilarious, grab the six pack and the popcorn and have a blast!
2021.10.3 看到yamada様的名字就衝戲院了。感受是回憶和現實部分的脫離感很重，尤其男主爺爺讓人很難連戲，相較之下回憶部分要更好一點。但對於電影的情感還是很令人動容的，電影中，有神。
错付的情感，算不上圆满的圆满。family drama，也关于电影，戳我，不断泪目。
拍的太好 在资料馆看的时候周围应该大多都是爱电影的，共鸣更多，我们都吸溜着鼻涕又笑又哭
不能嫁给文艺青年啊！北川景子咋那么像张雨绮？
山田洋次到现在还在拍电影厉害了，咩酱全片之光
2017年第一次参加北影，看的第一场便是山田洋次的家族之苦。2021年北影，开场第一部还是老爷子的电影。在资料馆，时隔将近一年半，重新见到红色座椅，但是还没有来得及仔细看看。
2021BJIFF “你去干什么” “除了看电影我还能干什么”。“看电影看到死”，为电影，为电影人，为迷影人。
无语……老套的故事，敷衍的人物塑造，yy式的女性角色，套个电影情怀，一些人就开始自我拔高了
故事只能算是山田的平庸之作，不过作为松竹百年献映的命题之作，《电影之神》非常难得，全片处处可见致敬和缅怀。电影之神是什么？是蕴藏在内心的情怀以及落寞中对电影的执著之爱。
关于《电影之神》的幕后故事，很真实……理想与现实交织。（值得观看）
这部电影不如说是借用了《象棋的故事》。
剧本整体走向很温馨，但时空两端整体感觉又很割裂。作为电影本身来说品质算是一般吧，片尾曲还不错。
还行吧 雨露均沾？用点精神分析的内核外加一些历史内容
电影之神对电影弃子的爱不是和有才能的人那样两情相悦 而是“不指望他让我幸福，我是想带给他幸福”这样勇敢的爱 单方向现实的爱因为梦幻的爱的存在变得残酷 梦幻的爱和现实的爱也因此互相成就了 想看着电影死去也是这样浪漫又不浪漫的 可以被随手抛弃的 带着酒臭的 苍老的痴汉愿望
前半段确实有些拖沓。后半段几乎是泪流满面看完的。跟自己对于中国电影行业的失望和质疑还有疫情对于行业的负面影响有很大关系。作为78岁的新人，如果能在电影院中死去，也许是电影人最后的荣耀吧！敬电影之神！
这电影感觉是真漫长啊，可能不在受映范围。两星表达，三星辛苦。
应该拿这个电影给我爸看，你才50岁，可以成为任何你想成为的人。山田洋次yyds！北影节last one
有点冗长 这种电影情节贩卖反而不感冒了
难道只有音乐文学舞蹈才能称为精神世界？
爱过。救我妈。保大。没钱。明天有事。不约。
