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).
被购票网站骗了，标的都是国语版，其实几乎完全都是沪语版本，但也真的只有听得懂上海闲话的人才能明白这部电影的妙处。全片充满了上海人才有的机智、幽默、得体、品味、腔调、包容、通达，也有看透人生以后的悲悯，马伊琍、倪虹洁、吴越三个女人当然也演得很好，但演得最好的还是徐峥，把一个上海闲人的劲儿呈现得很放松很呼之欲出。灵额！
台词、演员、故事、情调，无一不佳（除了那个韩流儿子
往往能更加客观的看待如今的上海
生活里哪有什么爱情神话，生活的格调才是最重要的。画画、打鼓、写诗和做菜，然后是爱与被爱，徐峥和马伊琍等一众上海人把这个上海伪爱情故事演的妙趣横生，灵了灵了。
真的好真实啊！没落入俗套是我比较满意的，几位演员都演的好自然舒适。观看的时候笑声不断，而费里尼的《爱情神话》果然和古罗马有关哈哈哈哈。
属于上海的千姿百态，活色生香。这个前两年还在卖电子烟的90后导演身上，能看到彭浩翔，Woody Allen，John Carney，Greta Gerwig。
以一己之力拯救了几近凋零的2021中国院线片
自信又轻巧，锐利又宽阔，处处埋梗又不破梗，像是给文艺中年人的一封情书，伍迪艾伦in a shanghai way。
本来计划去看话剧，下午看到好多友邻在推这个电影，临时叛逃。
很好看呀。可能因为呈现了特别不像中国人生活状态的一面吧。
喜欢喜欢 ，快俩小时了竟然没看够 就这种题材拜托电影院能多点，导演真的好会拍，特别第一场群戏那里节奏真的非常的棒，谈恋爱吗哪有那么多扭捏，哪有一定女的就要被动？
绝对的惊喜之作！把上海人的精致、精明、生活趣味，描绘的淋漓尽致。与其说是爱情故事，不如说是属于这座城市的人文小传。迷影情结也是很精彩的彩蛋了~全片沪语非常棒，看完了简直想搬去弄堂里的小洋房住住
生动的爱情小品，真是出乎意料地好看！
看完了才发现，原来是我的观影习惯不好，中途离场了那么多次，对不起
唉，中年男人的困顿看得自己难受。爱情确实没有神话，友情一定有。配乐太考究了，没有想到之前打了个低🌟的八仙饭店，在电影里插入这么好听。
很有腔调的文艺电影。几个演员各自出色，不过三个女人一台戏也好，儿子的感情也好，或者主人公纠结黏糊的情感，都是戏到关头生生绕开，所以看得并不尽兴。但出了影院再一想，也许这种意犹未尽正是腔调本身。很放松舒服的观影体验。
虽然事前没有了解，看到中间就知道一定是女性导演拍摄的。男人拍不出这样立体的女性。
我相信老乌和索菲亚·罗兰的故事，老乌在《The Soldier's Sweetheart》的悠扬乐声中离开了上海，回到了他心心念念的罗马，他会再一次遇见索菲亚·罗兰，与她一起喝街头咖啡，一起看费里尼的《爱情神话》，重新谱写属于他们的爱情神话。
群戏台词写得挺有意思的，不过也就仅此而已，可算是知道那些土狗艺术展都是谁在买账了，能得到我尊重的是真正的生活，不是手握上海几套房衣食无忧的文艺青年讲的俏皮话。
