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.
3.5,a24真的是踩在我的审美上拍电影😍
不太欣赏得来这种舞台剧（古典）转换成的电影，不过总算是对《麦克白》这个IP有了一些些了解
哥哥单飞处女作。没有了黑色幽默，这次可谓把舞台剧形式感做到最足。黑白影像，打光极为讲究，整体来说还是很舒服的，不知在大银幕上是什么感觉。与之相比同样是A24的胶片《灯塔》更出色一些。
极简场景和摄人光影是本片独特气质的最大贡献者，其余部分没什么亮点。空镜最震撼
#Alfie 太好看了太好看了。除了极具德国表现主义风格的舞台剧布景，这个版本更注重女巫的预言力量。麦克白杀人前后的自我挣扎，尝过罪恶之后的无尽堕落和痛苦折磨，丹泽尔演得太好了。麦克道夫家的屠杀就是故事中的永久高潮。结局还是波兰斯基版本的更残暴更有力量。
1.极致戏剧化的呈示，而非着手于对镜头媒介的献媚，这才意味着电影艺术真的成熟了。
把戏剧搬入电影
为啥麦克白是个黑人？就开头女巫演的最好，后面越来越难看
这版也太像《蜘蛛巢城》了 但蜘蛛巢城真的不可逾越了 A24，黑白，4:3
极简舞台剧，中世纪建筑冷峻鬼魅，迷雾重重，影子般的乌鸦，神叨叨的恶魔，有《第七封印》的感觉了，摄影简直太美太美，灯光也打的颇具水准。一度认为莎翁原著中的活生生的人性罪恶和宿命论很适合放在德国表现主义，黑白，高反差的戏剧化影像进行表达，畸变的人，扭曲的脸在一个个特写里直击观者，而那些高大建筑生硬的切线仿佛时刻在将人分割，虽看整个片子没什么原创性但在视觉表达和呈现上足够惊艳
布景好喜欢，其他也有不少可圈可点的地方，但终究还是不及《蜘蛛巢城》这座大山所刻画的深入。
此刻观看体验是心跳加速血脉偾张......
科恩妻子劝科恩兄弟决裂，对照麦克白的悲剧。
就算在A24的量产风格里也不算优质作品吧。摄影打光是很美，可场景和表演太割裂了，完全是各演各的搭不上戏。难受，不属于我想看的电影，或者应该说它哪里像电影了！
强舞台布景，光与影辅佐戏剧张力，绝佳的构图、调度与声画剪辑，麦克白宅邸绝对是近年来最好的电影场景之一。科恩嫂和丹泽尔，他们呈现了好的表演，但同时将违和的语速、姿态与步伐带入了悲剧之中，最精彩的段落：科恩嫂梦游（6.5/10）
就算在A24的量产风格里也不算优质作品吧。摄影打光是很美，可场景和表演太割裂了，完全是各演各的搭不上戏。难受，不属于我想看的电影，或者应该说它哪里像电影了！
太失望了，本来我期待的是一部黑色谋杀犯罪片，结果是一部美术片。丹泽尔华盛顿的麦克白令人昏昏欲睡，科恩嫂的麦克白夫人后期还有点意思。
太一般了，一直在用全景卖弄陈旧的黑白建筑摄影美学和用特写夸示演技之间疲劳地切换，选角亦不出彩，有黑泽明、威尔斯和贝拉·塔尔等版本在先，科恩出一部这样的新版实无必要
在我这种没有艺术细胞的人眼中，就是个不太有意思的舞台剧，主角刺杀国王夺权然后被推翻的故事，带了点魔幻色彩。
與其吃力不討好地仿古，拍成科恩兄弟擅長的黑色喜劇不是更有意思嗎？
