Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do. She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young), Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young), and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency. Miss Yang and Miss Hong, who are well experienced in this type of business, are used to accepting propositions from customers. But Se-young, who is dating a college student named Min-su, rejects all requests for sexual favors. When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances, Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him. When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young, Ji-suk reprimands her severely. Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her. She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat, but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job, he sees how Se-young has been making her living. Shocked, he turns his back on the job and leaves. When he eventually returns to Sokcho, he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship. Decades ago, Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband, who was serving time in prison; she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation. Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate, Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her. She begs him not to abandon Se-young, but he flatly refuses. Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea, and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution.
前情有必要交代，但确实不必拖得太长。陀螺可能是想找个机会展示自己的freak show美学——马戏团的帐篷和诡异陈设令人联想到魏玛时期表现主义经典之作《卡里加里博士的小屋》。当陀螺沉迷于此时，批判与猎奇的分野则趋于暧昧模糊。
是被创伤和欲念引入深渊的个体悲剧，也是被空洞和虚妄拽向阴谋的世事轮回，夜车和暗巷的旅程中，所有梦幻终变泡影，所有失落终成麻醉。德托罗把诡谲的个人趣味和老式的黑色风格进行嫁接，时长上得到强化的前半段马戏团段落，无论是氛围营造还是内容构建，都能看出陀螺在这部分是特别用心用力的，但是故事到了城市，黑色电影主线正式启动后，前段酝酿起的期待逐渐失落在并无新意的情节推进以及看似迷离实则凝滞的视听表达中，而且演员与角色之间、角色与角色之间联结度和张力的缺失，更使得高潮部分的动力不足。虽然前后段落差明显，但观感其实还行，茉莉的设定挺与时俱进，美术和影像也是高水准，整体与[水形物语]处于同一水准。
意外的投入进去，凌晨四点看完，人生就是一场“骗局”，我们用我们的五官感受这个世界之后对世界的体验，只不过马戏团，心理咨询的职业更极致一些，挑个时间看原版，然后，再来看。
什么什么都好但是索然无所的那种莫名其妙的感觉....
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。
当我看到电视广告"Cate Blanchette is the greatest femme fatale of all time"的时候就没办法不看这个电影了。第一个抱怨还是太长了。前后两段是两个电影吗。群星云集的，Bradley cooper其实不错。感觉是个警世片，几个教训：喝酒毁人生，不要和笑容冷艳颧骨高的金发美女打交道（适用于所有黑色电影），不管你怎么避免你都会最终变成你憎恨的父亲的模样。I still had a good time, along with 3 other people in the theater. Had a churro donut with ice cream. Absolutely delicious.
I like how fate has bounded the characters together. The final act is gripping to watch. The shots in the film look beautiful, but Mr. del Toro has failed to impress me with his yet again thinnly written characters.
玉面情魔感觉拍的半旧不新的😂可能是翻拍的原因，就感觉应该是上个世纪的电影，但是硬件什么的又确实是现在的电影有股割裂感😂but冲魔王这设定这声音值3颗星😂
没看过原版，但Cooper和大魔王对手戏有点东西，所以后半段i住。前半段马戏团的剧情太长了，废戏挺多，删个半小时就好了
尽搞些花哨东西，故事都没讲清，比老版逊色太多了
看的津津有味，但有两点我觉得有待商榷，第一是莫莉打了他两巴掌就走了，第二是结尾有点弱，总觉得可以处理的更好。
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
不太能理解这个电影翻拍的意义，毫无时代性，从故事到人物到主题都乏善可陈。B. Cooper和C. Blanchett的chemisty还是不错的，让影片后半部分有一些活力。至于Cooper的表演。。。只能说很高兴看到他颜值回春
前面在嘉年华的部分特别喜欢，让我想起了当时看《巴斯特斯克鲁格斯的歌谣》的快乐。充满文艺色彩又满足猎奇。后半部分的故事逐渐拖沓，把时长拉到两个半小时，有点太长了。
痴迷行骗到走火入魔，失了挚爱也枉了余生。前一半是boring freak show，后一半渐入佳境。
还是可以的，喜欢那些暗黑的场景氛围，值得回味的台词，反而3个主要角色的表演觉得好平淡啊，不是演得差但缺少了一些角色魅力，互相之间没有什么化学反应
心中总有缺口
什么什么都好但是索然无所的那种莫名其妙的感觉....
收尾相当棒，陀螺拍这种暗黑风格真的拿捏超好。
跟影片中的故事一样，影片本身也似乎来自上个世纪，复古的基调，精良的制作，精准的表演，精彩的反转。前半段进展缓慢，需要点耐心仔细留意，男主为自己的未来留下的铺垫，悲剧总是因其不可避免而更让人唏嘘。几位女主和男主都贡献出了一流的演技…
