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).
从倒叙的第一个镜头开始，到女孩握着帽子茫然四顾伫立街头，就是一个完整的爱情故事。或者可以再展开些，到相机镜头偶然捕捉到了赛艇上的男孩，至此完全可以戛然而止。论留白的功夫，Modern Love显然技高一筹。
特么好做一女的。各种别扭。香肠嘴越看越烦。
媒体很新，剧情还不错，男主的鼻子应该是受过伤吧，看着有点变扭。音乐现场～
Soooooo stupid. Jennifer Coolidge is the only highlight, and tbh I don’t know why she agreed to do this movie. Answer: the gays are “obsessed with me.” 5/10
爱就要说出来，不要让自己在后悔和遗憾 当中度过余生,至关重要平行的爱情故事...
情人节前周末唯一的爱情片也就凑合着看了。开头差不多就是高潮。女明星爱上素人单亲爸爸这个故事铺垫的不够就很别扭。Owen Wilson是不是年纪大了打针嘴巴笑起来好奇怪。JLO状态好好，on my way很好听。可惜了出镜的这么多喜剧人，故事本身有些单薄。唯一反套路的就是男主女儿没有赢得比赛。
I came to listen the score, but I found it's an interesting cliche.
女主奈飞校园青春片的御用女主。情节老套，好在细节还算精致些。美式校园爱情片怎么什么时候都不过时？
这样的设定 也挺电影的吧
#22#53 小镇的电影院和风景真棒…落俗的爱情片，全世界陪小公主长大走出童年原生家庭的阴影，不禁想问，凭啥？
套路老是老 但是思想怎么能退步呢 为什么一定要成功美丽的女王大人回归你平凡的小生活呢 继续闪耀不好吗
女主啊，还是那个嘟嘟嘴，演技没有进步。剧情也太弱。
这个结尾我实在接受无能，四星给影片前半部分，寻焦的取景框，男主的红色Jeep，两人凭想象打网球，回忆和现实的穿插，通过影像交流这些都很棒 “what is wrong with stepping in front of the camera every once in a while?” “I believe a photographer should point her lens outward toward the world, so you can try and understand it.” “What about trying to understand yourself?”
爱永不死，失去过某人的悲伤会像灯塔一样，召唤他回到自己身边，逝世不是真正的死亡，别被忘记才是。
If you sit in the question long enough, the answer finds you. And the answer is I don't want to keep making the same mistakes over and over. I want something different. If you want something different, you have to do something different.
男女主廿十几岁的人装高中生，样子类型又不是幼态类，太出戏。
Another fairytales in this modern world with the rough-cheap, electric-pop music. Which is kind of depressing. And i don’t see any match or spark between them, i mean they’re both excellent actor or actress but they just can make it a couple. It’s just boring.
除了科技进步，这个片还是和九十年代一样。
“我爱上了自己最好的朋友”这一点在gay cp这里似乎行不通，因为姐妹起来就真的很姐妹。刻板印象了sorry。
其实是一部合格的爆米花爱情电影，同样类似的桥段别人都已经可以完全合理男女角色调换了，可能我们的国产爱情片还是仍然霸道总裁爱上我吧
