Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
如幽灵般游荡在历史、小说、旧影与现实的灰烬里，在模糊了的互文中，写一篇悼文。
这拍的是个什么？！大型超长无歌曲无音乐mv吗
运送作家路易吉·皮兰德娄的骨灰回到他的家乡西西里，只是全片的楔子，陡然变换画风的第二幕小品才是真正的灵魂所在。镜头的轮转间使用了大量历史影像、其它影片的片段，从而产生了奇妙的环境作证。保罗·塔维亚尼用整个过程记述着人们对死者的真实态度，伟大的作家再塑碑立传也不一定会被铭记，而由你亲手促成的坟墓才会一生难忘。整部影片也相当精准地纪录着，二战前夕到现如今意大利人的生活变化。大师级的极简影像之美。
这个片子最搞笑的是几个配角设定，艾米丽的同班男同学富二代欧文活脱脱一个马云幼儿版，压扁的五官，透明塑料边框的啤酒瓶底子眼镜，欧文他爸是刘强东，注意看额头的那撮白毛和说话时挺胸抬头的气质，生物基因公司的大反派老板，直接就自称扎克了。整个猛一看，还真有点像那货的坯子。
画面好看，为了看巨人一幕，睡了两次加倍速看完了
太美，拖沓得都这么美。最后竟然是《基督最后的诱惑》那样的寓言。die a knight or live a coward. 中世纪电影就应该拍成这样吧。

这片摄影和灯光好厉害，在大银幕上看真的很爽。故事倒是非常简单，拿掉身份设定其实是个男性成长的故事。
7.0 西方聊斋，魔幻气氛有了，但是人物刻画一个都不深刻，行为缺少原因和逻辑，剧情推得太快了
可爱的狗狗！虽然红色有点膈应…不过看着它的脸还挺舒服！
一出受难诗 故事没有问题 - 所谓若见诸相非相 即见如来；但前1/3我给零分 如果大卫洛维已经完全接棒了A24的空洞美学 我只好替他遗憾
绿衣骑士，一定是2022奥斯卡提名！！！否则我把头拧下来当球踢！！！
大卫·洛维的新片，这次没有在美国现当代社会的语境中讲故事，而是换到了英国的古代传说中。或许，洛维更适合这种奇幻故事。
精彩绝伦的奇幻片，是好电影。叔叔的生活虽然很糟糕，但是很有激情，乐观积极阳光，他的生活就是我的理想生活。台词设计很精巧，全部在线没有崩坏
顶多给五岁以下简单的小朋友看看了！这是按照提纲拍的吗，剧本太弱太弱太弱！看的犯困！电脑狗狗再怎么卖萌也救不回来！
# 72 Berlinale 主竞赛# 值得金熊
3星，本片改编自 圆桌骑士里比较有名的一段故事《高文与绿骑士》，场景布局讲究尽显骑士浪漫情怀。故事改编后有点故弄玄虚强行加戏的感觉，把寓言故事拍成了一个文艺片。但寓言故事表达的精神没变，整体观感尚可，可以看看。
三星半。虽然只是一部适合一家人看的爆米花电影，但是胜在够轻松够暖，大小领导都笑得可开心了。
视听享受，但这个享受并没有能带入到故事中，故事看得毫无趣味
观影过程中我内心戏好多，以下为节选：
