This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
基本是《罗马》的套路，孩童视角的大时代历史变革➕60s黑白怀旧风，OST的民谣蛮动人。摄影构图非常好，但服化道的细节并不太像六十年代，不知道是不是预算不够
电影回到1969年8月15日，全片是小男孩视角、他的世界是童趣和喜欢的小女孩，工薪阶层的父母为生活奔波和烦恼，爷爷奶奶看尽人生、用温柔和诙谐看世界，当时的社会大热点则是英国新教和天主教的冲突。几乎都是黑白画面的成片，几处夜景的画面光线、构图很美，第一时间没认出演奶奶的是朱迪·丹奇，小男孩和爷爷奶奶的戏很温馨、有点动人。PS. 詹尼斯·布拉纳继续这样拍片也行，别再祸害波洛才是真的。
奥奖还有两部没看 现任和沙丘最喜欢 害怕他和沙丘争最佳摄影 结果没入围
人生面临的无尽选择啊..and say in thankfulness that you are grateful he was there瞬间泪目..ps. bgm真好听
RNM！奥妙加钱💰 （一个蹩脚木匠做了摇摇晃晃的衣柜）
技术很流畅，非常多的景深镜头运用，非常多的对比节奏的对比构图的对比等应用，蛮好的学习案例；今天赫然发现是哈利波特和密室里那个绣花枕头教授导的………震惊了
很私人化很真挚的故事。但，或许是受限于时长的原因，很多东西都不清不楚的带过去了。母亲这个人物因外部环境的影响而转变略显突兀，原因出在构成外部环境的这场暴乱本身的描写太过欠缺，难以让人信服。比利像个可有可无的角色强盗A或者劫匪B，感觉这场戏和开头的暴乱戏的顺序可以换一换。故事线捋地不清楚，把握不住节奏，继而导致抒情的时候只能见缝插针，
Oh Van Morrison. 工作日选择看这个完全是因为时长亲人，意外地挺喜欢的，黑白摄影虽然比不上《罗马》和《冷战》，但质朴的视角更显乡愁（也可能可以少做旧一些细节？）。童言无忌，童稚时无法接受变化，心碎的离开和道别，回不去的是旧日和故乡。
电影拍得不错。但就是一段个人的童年回忆，即使配乐美丽如斯，也无法共情。
很多部分在怀旧感人和用力过度做作之间左右横跳，不明所以。新教旧教双方观点，留守的离开的，啥都提了但啥也没说个所以然，连个对立的情绪都给的不到位，高潮靠动作戏也是醉了。bgm听得只觉得吵闹，并且和一看就是编剧写的过度用力的做作的部分非常不搭黑白影像，更进一步怀疑黑白的必要性。
3.5
我，看不下去了。本身挺有意思的故事啊，可能我要求高了。奥斯卡，真是越来越垃圾了
桥段有些零散 角色可爱 英式祖传生活小妙招 工人阶级的父亲们都不错
——至这个时代的默片解说员
和爱尔兰出身的英国朋友一起去看的，故事的情绪很私人，我完全体会不到，顺便问了朋友许多爱尔兰历史。
没事儿就配流行歌曲的电影都不大行 弄成黑白也没有高级几分 如果不是喜欢英国文化和旧时代 看这片得多煎熬
父亲角色最后歌舞本来很有魅力很有趣，结果逐渐开始毫不掩饰对口型放bgm，太失望了
it's actually a bit hard to understand the lines with the accent.. but still such an interesting angle... and it's amazing that some childhood memories seems never fading even after a long time. a powerful work with many heartwarming moments that still resonates with me after the movie. well, TIFF does have taste. ps. it's strange some historic events look so absurd now but at the time..
就是一个van morrison的compilation。
太不了解爱尔兰了，黑白的回忆七分情，三分真。了解了一点点贝尔法斯特，无论哪里的人，基本的情感是共通的。整体7.6
