Fernando Di Leo's "Milano Calibro 9" is an out-and-out masterpiece of Italian Crime cinema and, in my opinion, one of the most astonishing crime stories ever told. The first film in Di Leo's excellent 'Milieu' trilogy, "Milano Calibro 9" was followed by "La Mala Ordina" (aka. "Manhunt", also 1972) and the brilliant "Il Boss" (1973). The three films are not connected story-wise, but all three are excellent, and highly realistic portrayals of organized crime. As far as I am concerned "Manhunt" is (allthough excellent) slightly inferior to this one and "Il Boss" which both stand out as absolute all-time highlights of crime cinema. "Milano Calibro 9" is the best of them all, a film that is astonishing in all aspects, be it the ingenious plot that, apart from a compelling story and clever twists, includes social criticism, the performances, the gritty atmosphere and suspense or the brilliant score. I can hardly find the right words to express my admiration for this masterpiece which easily ranks among the greatest Gangster flicks ever brought to screen.
Gastone Moschin stars as Ugo Piazza, a tough and elliptical ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after his release, Ugo is approached by members of the Milan mob lead by the irascible gangster Rocco (Mario Adorf), as they suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to their boss, an American (Lionel Stander) who controls the organized crime in Milan...
"Milano Calibro 9" is a film that delivers an astonishingly realistic mood of the underworld like hardly another. The intriguing storyline goes in hand with interesting characters, raw atmosphere, suspense and breathtaking action, social criticism and brutal violence. The film is simply stunning from the beginning to the end, which is even intensified by the brilliant score, a collaboration of the famous composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian Progressive Rock band Osanna. Ugo Piazza must be one of the most charismatic gangster characters ever in cinema, and Gastone Moschin was the prefect choice for the role. Moschin delivers a brilliant performance, and the rest of the cast is also great. Mario Adorf is irascible like a rabid dog as the ferocious gangster Rocco, a role that fits him like a glove. The great Lionel Stander fits perfectly in his role of the American Mafia Don.
The two cop characters in the film are played by two of the greatest regulars of Italian genre-cinema, Luigi Pistilli and Frank Wolff (who committed suicide before the film was released). The ravishing Barbara Bouchet is astonishing and incredibly sexy in the role of Ugo Piazza's stripper girlfriend. Bouchet is both a stunning beauty and an excellent actress and this is doubtlessly one of her most memorable roles. This is also a political film and director Di Leo embedded a lot of social criticism about topics like corruption. This film simply has everything one can possibly desire in cinema. Films like "Milano Calibro 9" are the reason why I love cinema. This is an absolute masterpiece in all regards and, without exaggeration, one of the greatest Crime flicks ever made! The ingenious opening scene alone is more memorable than most films get in two hours.
千万别对后辈爹味十足，他正是暗中对着你吐信子的小毒蛇。
11.4 虽然毒物是早已准备好的，但是我的心底还是不禁想问如果她没有卖掉牛皮，如果他没有生气，他还会去杀他吗？全片气氛真的好压抑，每个主要任务都可怜又可恨又可爱。
LFF2021。整体架构是在的，但在细节的处理上根本看不到坎皮恩当年的原始而又有生命力的影像才气。高清数字摄影机拍摄下的这一切都“脏”得太干净、太假了。网飞调色精准得跟国家地理杂志似的。有无数场戏试图将角色的情绪与荒野自然交融，但呈现出来的效果很温吞，就心想这要是PTA或者李安或者多米尼克拍该多对味啊。大家中规中矩的演出让人怀疑是不是casting出了很大问题。
Tiff2021。不错的character studies。演员们演得奇好，但感觉剧情上似乎差了一口气，卷福混蛋和mean都不够彻底，弟媳带来的小屁孩儿儿子又不够心理变态阴暗。要是两个角色再极端一点，一个psychobitch mommy dearest mean drama queen、另一个是青年汉尼拔风格的阴冷带微笑的变态虐待杀人狂，不知会不会对戏剧张力有所帮助，而且里面的homoeroticism也是点到为止。感觉简坎萍自≪圣烟≫后的作品越来越妥协安全缺乏玻璃刺了。还有题目与其叫犬之力，不如叫先前的中文标题≪犬山记≫，片中也有交代为什么是犬山 —— 张开狗牙的荒山也更锐利些。
最后结局出人意料。影片不是简单地将男性气质与女性气质对立起来去讲一个娘娘腔与牛仔的对比，更多的是两种力的相互拉扯，彼此阉割，最后的胜利代表的是导演的态度。在极其克制的镜头语言下，立意反而被拔得很高。整个结构很巧妙，许多细节很有深意。
孝死，干得漂亮！用两个小时看这么闷的片儿，如果结尾不死个把人，我真的要暴走了。
高度克制的叙事技巧，纯粹，庄严，文学化，让整部电影蒙散着淡淡光辉。
3.5-4 太晦涩了。一个深柜为了伪装自己。为了自己所爱的人。不仅离开了所谓的文明的世界。让自己处在蛮荒，从此也活成了爱人希望成为的样子。从头到尾并没有所谓的叔侄恋。不管是本尼在草地上拿着方巾DIY的肉体欲望。还是惊讶于彼得马上就能看出来是疯狗的山的精神上的向往。其实都指向没有出过镜却一直存在的亨利。为了这个秘密，自欺欺人的活着，终于，变成了脾气古怪的男人。嘲笑自己的弟媳。大有一副我不能得到快乐谁也别想好过的------太监脾气。最后被反杀，才让人发现原来所谓的疯狗般的力量不是他。他一直是脆弱的。是看似最无害的那一位。
似乎什麼都沒發生，底下卻暗流湧動，情緒比情節更吸引人。期待情感最後走向更曖昧與複雜，最怕的是故事往類型方向發展，想不到最後真的是復仇殺人，不禁索然無味。
其实不只是性别，还是时代的角力。男版色|戒，这次轮到易先生去死。
最后结局有些出人意料，卷福表演意料之中，克里斯汀邓斯特演的好赞啊，那份寄人篱下的委屈和害怕真的演到骨子去里了。
面对着 The Power of the Dog，我们都是待屠宰的猪羊。
一头雾水。每个角色都obvious到牵强的程度，只有本尼真的演得克制又让人心疼。感觉故作高深，节奏很慢，慢到前两个章节睡着了两次…可能有些细节因为没字幕的原因没有完全跟上吧，反正就真的get不到。西部的景色还是很美的。
人们被自己设下的囹圄困入宿命的终点，所有对立的二元张力却又不断被解构和重塑。导演一如既往地不露声色又暗露锋芒，隐晦细腻地编织起角力的筹码，行为虽一一呈现而意义皆被延宕，直至最后一刻谜底揭晓，克制与泄露都把握的恰如其分。堆叠的矛盾在人物内部将所有事件冲撞为从容不迫的高潮，杀戮竟发生在最温情的时刻——马群油亮的鬃毛间与神秘氤氲的注视，看似肌肤相亲的瞬间实藏着汹涌偏执的杀意。
片子挺妙，但又没有让我特别着迷的点，感觉更适合用细腻沉稳描述，没有太多被压抑的情绪，也就无所谓克制，向来对这种叙事清淡的片子有好感，想吐槽克斯汀和杰西越来越夫妻相
三星半，和断背山完全背道而驰的一部电影，正准备断背山感动一下，结果导演完全打破这种情绪，结尾高能是最后的落脚点，观影过程并不有趣，但看后的回味就很有趣
最后的场景，peter通过窗户看到楼下拥吻的母亲和继父，好了朋友们，可以脑补接下来的故事了！
前半段剧情慢，很难跟着导演设计的情绪走，也没看出同性标签在哪里。剧情推进后渐渐真相浮出水面（推进剧情的原声带很棒），Phil那些手指戳花，BH丝巾洗澡，少年交互吸烟的桥段让人才回过神来。少年的铺垫很多，他一开始就擅长布置陷阱，杀掉动物的时候也毫不眨眼。当他告诉Phil说死去的父亲担心他太strong时，还遭到了无情嘲笑。可能父亲早就看破，弱也并不是指柔，强也不是世俗的男子气概吧。
内劲好大的片子。武术有内家拳，这部属于电影里的“内家片”。故事发生在背影是一片洪荒的农场中，这里有个粗鲁邋遢的坏哥哥，善良内敛的好弟弟，以及焦虑酗酒的妻子和他娘娘腔的儿子。电影的大部分时间你并不知道电影到底要表达什么，但你能感觉到线索在犬山、木屋、公牛、河流、马鞍、皮绳、标炭疽等种种的意象中暗涌向陌路。片中男女间的偏见和敌视也代指着文明和蛮荒的冲突，而到头来我们才发现，杀人不见血的文明葬送了善良的野蛮。
不太能 get 到，跟多年前看的《钢琴课》相去甚远，只知道蜘蛛女和她片中的老公也是真实的一对夫妻，还有全片是在新西兰拍的。。。。
