遥远的北欧地区,瑞典的斯德哥尔摩一片银装素裹,寒气逼人。12岁少年奥斯卡(Kåre Hedebrant 凯尔•赫德布朗特 饰)生活在一个单亲家庭,他在学校形单影只,饱受欺负;回家后则偷偷搜集关于各类凶杀案的剪报,或者深夜挥着小刀在树上发泄着自己的愤怒。 新搬来的小孩爱莉(Lina Leandersson 莉娜•莱纳德尔森 饰)走进了奥斯卡的生活,他们慢慢成为朋友,并逐渐产生爱情。而就在此时,奥斯卡无意中发现爱莉一个令人毛骨悚然的秘密…… 本片改编自瑞典小说家约翰•林德科维斯特(John Ajvide Lindqvist)2004年的同名畅销书,并荣获2008年翠贝卡电影节最高奖、2008高森博格电影节最佳北欧电影奖及柯达最佳摄影奖。
本片是费拉里对现代社会文明和小家庭中男子的作用的最新探讨的成果。工程师热拉尔德被妻子抛弃了,并把小儿子皮耶罗特留给了他。当工厂宣布休假时,他把保姆当作情人;在短短的时间内,他重新经受了令人伤脑筋的以两性斗争为特点的两人关系发展的全过程。热拉尔德完全被以性交为表现的男性意识所支配。当他同情人的关系发生危机时,他的情人却和他的前妻成了好朋友。他出于抗议和绝望用一把厨房用的电锯把自己的生殖器割掉了。这个可以作为模式的事件的大部分 (就象在戏剧舞台上一样)发生在一套高层小公寓里。费拉里批判了他的主人公的大男子主义,同时也表现了由于生活(工作,住宅,千篇一律的生活秩序,孤独寂寞)造成的绝望和灰心丧气。如果说影片留下了一种相互矛盾的印象,那是由于影片以独特的方式提出了问题:这个男人是他的行为的牺牲品,也是妇女全面反抗的牺牲品;费拉里在这部影片中同样使用了多种手法,而且通过一些“煽动性"的细节和效果来吸引更多的观众。

Volker Schlöndorff transposes Bertolt Brecht’s late-expressionist work to latter-day 1969. Poet and anarchist Baal lives in an attic and reads his poems to cab drivers. At first feted and later rejected by bourgeois society, Baal roams through forests and along motorways, greedy for schnapps, cigarettes, women and men: ‘You have to let out the beast, let him out into the sunlight.’ After impregnating a young actress he soon comes to regard her as a millstone round his neck. He stabs a friend to death and dies alone. ‘You are useless, mangy and wild, you beast, you crawl through the lowest boughs of the tree.’ The film takes youthful impetuousness and hatred of oppression as its subject and also ponders the cult of genius and sexual morals. Rainer Werner Fassbinder simultaneously plays both Baal and himself and is surrounded by many actors who were later to perform in his own films. After the film was broadcast on West German television, Brecht’s widow Helene Weigel prohibited any further screenings, arguing that the social circumstances engendering Baal’s rebelliousness had not been adequately explained.
