This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
我們所經歷的每個平常的日常，就是連續發生的奇跡
又名村上村树的平行人生，诺贝尔文学奖不是人生目标，享受爱爵士乐的人生就是找到了火花……（开玩笑……）
看到很多一语中的的短评，希望妈妈也去到了那么美好的地方。
快到结束，在风沙中，被一群黑影团团围住诘问和指责的那一幕，我真的觉得被他们团团围住的是我自己。
乍一看，本片要表达的主题与FSN里“坚持自己的理想然后获得胜利”的现代童话可说是相反的存在，但其实细想并不冲突，无非只是有人怀有理想有人没有罢了。而生活的权利却人人平等。既然最后的命运之战的前一晚大家认真讨论晚饭吃什么是一种生活，那么坐在阶前看落叶也如是。通晓现代生活同样也会存在着美好的事物，这才是现代童话的本质所在。
这句话我记挂了很多年，还曾把它小心翼翼贴在本子上。这是当时我认为于我来说最为贴切的评语。那些年，我做什么事总是“只差一点点”，“前方迷雾”的感觉贯穿我的生活。
不记得哪一刻开始眼泪就止不住的流，就是会有一个点触动到你，人来到这个世界上太不容易，活着也不容易。值得二刷。
能把“好好生活”四个字讲成这样的故事，也只有皮克斯了吧。
当我们都在怀念和感动时，习惯性地站在一旁为自己加上暖光、配乐和升格镜头，我们是否还能分清顿悟和自我感动呢？所以生活的发现是，要由另一个更虚无的人来告诉你你现在每一刻都弥足珍贵？这跟叙利亚学有什么分别？
没想到它如此完整的回答了我这一年来的疑问，生和死，purpose和moment，mastery和忘我之境。批评者的角度可能会说这是西方当代社会贫富困境的麻醉剂：穷人小孩就是follow your heart，富人小孩依旧死磕STEM。but who cares，it cures me
即便在心灵神殿，给人打绩效颁奖的HR/管理层依然是熟悉的味道，面目和善却可憎，底层搬砖的还是要日复一日地做着最繁琐的脏累活还要亲自下场擦屎，摊手。以及欢迎肥肠豆瓣气质的22号投胎到地球学哲学
live every minute of your life需要一副敏感的身心，就像22那样，从未体验过生的感觉，一切感官都是打开的。而让平凡的我们做到这一点的难处在于，当下生活的现实会使人变得麻木。片子想讨论的内容太多又太抽象，关于灵魂、意义、激情、成功以及人生本身。但其实简单来说就是感恩活着，像Jazz一样chill地活着。
二零二零，郑重告别，二零二一，开启我的心灵奇旅，新年快乐，豆瓣的友邻们，谢谢相瓣。
太治愈了，尤其是对于我这种梦想将灭未灭的中年人。当然这部电影对于我来说还有点独家意义，那就是它完美的还原了纽约的生活，对于在那里生活过一段时间的人来说倍感亲切，不是矫情，真的是怀旧了。
选择这个主题就已经值得10颗星,这才是当下每一个人应该看的电影，可惜排片太少，要看抓紧
有梦想很燃，但生活在这个世界上的本身就是一件美好的事。
感谢说“芝士只是点亮世界的灵光”这句话的梁文道。
看完平平淡淡，火花就是人对生活中每一点幸福的确幸。
去的影院不好，3D太暗，最后看得我有点头疼。
