回复 :黑色的开头，潦草的手写体英文，把我们带回到了只有死亡的世界中。纯黑的布景，诡异的提琴伴奏夹杂着男人女人痛苦的呻吟，一个全身赤裸的男人翻身，把本身舒展在镜头前。一个红衣女子在纸上写下了“Der TodesKing”（德语，意为‘死亡之王’），而且画了一个可爱的小骷髅。纯黑色的布景再次呈现，赤裸的男人慢慢降下，呈现了这系列影片开头都要呈现的话。音乐还是一如既往的低落阴森，但在这部里，却明显有些普通恐怖片音乐的做作的感觉。影片开始，在低落的钟声里一个男人（暂且称之为A）在街上行走着。继第二集贝蒂检查身体，得知自己怀孕，贝蒂把与第二个男友的小孩生下来后，将小孩养大，然后再其杀掉，继续恋尸……其实《困惑的浪漫》并没有第三部，《死亡之王》与《困惑的浪漫》并没有关系，剧情完全没有连接。这部只是尤戈·布特格雷特导演同时期的另外一部作品而已，本片用一周的时间演绎着那些看似不连贯的小故事用来诠释死亡，片中时常出现的尸体腐烂过程也让我们更直接的直面死亡，正如片尾所说的，它给与人死亡的欲望。

回复 :River of Grass has all the elements of a conventional road movie: a car, a gun, criminal plans, and young lovers on the run from an angry father who also happens to be a suspended police officer. But writer and director Kelly Reichardt has instead taken these familiar elements and fashioned an anti-road movie, a deadpan film that is more existentialist comedy than crime drama. The young lovers in question are Cozy, the cop's daughter, and Lee Ray, a shady character from the wrong end of town. Lee Ray comes into possession of a pistol, and soon he and Cozy find themselves unintentionally involved in a shooting. Fearing capture by the law, the two make plans to leave town, committing a series of robberies on the way. However, they don't manage to get very far; indeed, the film's central premise is how the romantic myth of lovers on the lam proves disappointing in the face of a far more pedestrian reality. This well-received, low-budget indie was shot on location in South Florida, placing its story against an appropriately depressed landscape of sun-bleached strip malls, barren highways and overgrown, swampy fields; the title is another name for the Florida Everglades.
