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.
封闭空间的作品毫无疑问人物要设置对，一个近乎理想化的秘密情人 一个教宗教学的假哈姆雷特式中学老师，有揭露回忆有矛盾有和解，剧作上节奏也是极好 至少不无聊。问题就在于性与道德这个脱不了干系两角，就如同后面打破幻想一般，你不知道你眼前这个人他会如何重塑你们当下的行为呢，而如此避谈，一是篇幅的确展不开，二则是暴露了作为寓言体去讨论但实则是灌输的形式。由此必然要考虑所谓的人物设置，也由此暴露了他所为新精品电影以保守中产女性作为目标这一属性，消解那些所谓“性化”的元素是为了否定性的承认先验的观点—我们都难以享受性并且性是生命源泉，而输出这一观点最大的悖论就在于排除一切社会因素却又必要的让人在社会中渴望它，排除必然的社会性却又妄图在真实中引用此种虚幻，而它女性向的打法最后只会失落于真实想象中
I'm an islander, and No Man Is An Island. 2021年的最后再来看依旧哭唧唧，依旧为这部作品所鼓舞，依旧最喜欢那首汇成同一个旋律的信仰之歌，我们如此不同却又如此相通。
剧情很有耐心很不错，尤其是最后立意放在彼此疗愈上。不过性工作者的合法性还是不能因为本片而被推举上舞台。还是只能处于灰色地带。
So tame. So predictable. So...Meh.
拥抱自己的身体，和痛苦和解，不带有色眼镜，满足自己的欲望，人生在世短短一瞬，没有那么多时间唧唧歪歪
bravo！！！那么伤痛的故事这么欢快的基调！tonight we honor what we lost, but we also commemorate what we found. 转场好赞，全员厉害，好爱女机长！I'm an islander太洗脑哈哈哈
男主礼貌的微笑和认真倾听时的眼神，我被打动了！想立刻叫一个和他谈苦难的人生也行！四次酒店的会面，女主絮絮叨叨的开场，一步又一步深入的接触及满足。争吵总是有用的，促使彼此在房间外诚实应对了各自生活的困境。结尾也能预测到，有的快乐只能自己给。感慨最后镜子里的身体，这可是艾玛汤普森啊！他是她此生唯一的冒险！这种男人也就只能电影里看看了。
感觉Emma Thompson提名个奥斯卡没问题！非常细腻有层次的表演。就是主题上想表达的内容有点多却又没有非常深入的探讨，结尾突兀的冲突与和解也是把前期的平顺柔和给冲突掉了。以及突如其来的sex scene，这情感有这么迸发嘛？！至少男主视角的话我是不能理解的！
甘德小镇的居民用最真诚的心欢迎这一批不速之客，他们好傻，对陌生人敞开大门，也完全不懂“Knock knock”的笑话。但他们好厉害，竟能把惊惧变成温暖，是人性的力量。
一定要去加拿大的甘德小镇旅游。从第一幕到最后一幕，如果说这一天我们失去了太多，那么同样的这一天在地球的某个角落还有这么一群人展现了人的力量。自然而然的，用日漫的语气就是，人类啊，多么渺小又坚韧不拔的生物。
只能说 又是一部不可能被我们拍出来的电影！全片靠高密度的对白撑起 却一点不觉得冗长无聊 可见编剧功底已是登峰造极 再想到我们那尴尬的台词 出戏的演技 祝你好运 国产电影
Highly recommended.看完后第一时间推荐给朋友。看多了开心麻花，我都忘了这才是音乐剧（当然前面是话剧，我意思是好看的剧）。有伤痛、有开心、有反思，居然还是真人真事。途中一度想到我们的疫情难关能不能也出这样一个不煽情的好剧。场景、调度、演员、歌声、编排真的很棒。梦回西区！
拍的很省钱，场景只有一个酒店，两个主要人物。可以说英国有其开放的一面，但对于我来说，多少有些接受无能。
女人的快乐应该从年轻的时候就开始，避免女主一生的悲剧。但互相治愈的结尾不是我想看的，有点套路了。
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊
这个小男生治愈了这个女人，但是他的治愈还没有完成，也许永远都没法完成。这个小男生在浴血黑帮里就挺好看的，美貌出众。
我对里面的叨逼叨没兴趣，我就是看后面 感叹这个 汤普森都63岁的人了，奶子还保养的不错，没有怎么下垂，看起来像30-40岁的。羡慕
完全的放下外界对你的看法、你对外界的看法，是很难很难的。完全看不出是表演，没有一处做作。最后一次见面的两次露胸不像同一个人。谁说是喜剧？
没有什么比真诚对待自己和别人更美好的事了，更没有什么比直面自己更勇敢的事了。
有深度有温度，节奏很好。编剧厉害，老妇少男的性事没有让人反感，只有美好。导演加分，在封闭空间里只通过两位演员不停的聊天，却能一直抓住观众的注意力，这是本事。演员厉害，男女主充满魅力与自信，松弛的表演让人欲罢不能。但从社会意义上讲害人不浅，少儿不宜。 2022·6·27 8.4/1.3万。短评6061条 %86/11/3 【IMDb 7.1/4700 全球票房29.16万美元】
