Chained for Life tackles an issue that's rarely seen discussed yet is absolutely pervasive in any conceivable human society: lookism. The character in the film plays a character who plays a character; in this blending of set and reality, truths are told through lines and lines have become truths. In the meantime, the weight of (unwelcome) truths is cancelled the moment when reality breaks in, much like in real life truths have become unspeakable and people have made a habit of covering them with frivolous jokes and trivialities.
#ArtHouse# of the year. The unconventional definitions of comfort and discomfort, associated with one’s skin and the soul under. The best movie in a movie. Multiple motifs carried out without appearing to be too trying. One of the films to love even if there’s little to relate to personally.

话痨电影
应该是今年柏林补课的唯一惊喜，里面有我最喜欢的美国男演员，已看他的作品14部，五星9部，四星+及四星4部，三星+1部。

林奇、柯南伯格与情景喜剧的融合，想法有亮点，剧作仍显保守，从邪典的开篇一步步走向了典。戏剧与现实的扭结已足够荒诞惊悚，故作幽默的台词写作与间歇性jump scare的剪辑点设置不免画蛇添足。对相似题材续作《不同的男人》抱有期待。
女主的审美观真的有点异于常人，有点不可思议。而且看完整部电影都不知道主题是什么。

是一部难得的电影，一个完整的世界。
有点老惊悚片的味道，镜头里的异型表演和镜头外的对称完美，故事里的主题哲理和故事外的现实无奈，反差对比的审美观
【6.5】戏剧和现实纠缠的cult风小品，中间几处视角的切换感到惊喜
戏里戏外交叉相应
一个简单的小品故事套了畸形身体的壳，不过还行吧，不算有恶意的视角呈现。
【4.5】在最开始便建立了间离的观看，并在反复的戏仿和抽身的过程中强化主题，即借演绎完成对“看”的重读。

致敬了Pauline Kael和Tod Browning（开场箴言及她打扮的助理；Freaks 1932），除了演员的论述外，片中片一直在创造“看见并非真实”的环境，甚至最后尼日利亚司机的画外音引出的也不是另一处故事，而是继续验证不同场景下表演类似性的理论；
爱情还是需要看外表的，美女与野兽是furry爱好者，巴黎圣母院是写实，美女和普通的丑陋残疾人只存在哗众取宠的戏份里，卡的一下回到现实。注入美国文化的戏仿，是美式幽默，低饱和色彩的现实风格，正反打也是奇特、神经质的正面近景，而不是选择常规的侧面。在片厂里，当其它职员找畸形男主合照时，新奇的、开玩笑的态度，是否会联想到早期环球电影业的畸形演员们遭受的待遇。
